Paula Chanda is the Executive Director and co-owner of Hub Performing Arts School, and is currently completing her PhD in Fine Arts at Texas Tech University. Paula is also no stranger to the stage. She has performed multiple times on the Texas Tech University stage as an actor in plays such as "The Last Night of Ballyhoo", "Company", and "Sylvia", in addition to directing a new work in collaboration with the playwright. She and her husband Bob also run the Hub Theatre Group, a nonprofit theatre company.

Paula and her husband, Bob, had a dream to do theatre in Lubbock, TX. They wanted to have jobs where they could do what they love and be a family at the same time. With that vision in mind, they started Hub Theatre Group and Hub Performing Arts School. After a successful summer camp in July 2007, the school was launched, and celebrated its first semester with 150 students! Hub Performing Arts School provides show classes (training in acting, singing and dancing), private voice lessons, and Glee Show Choir during two twelve-week semesters a year, and camps all summer long with final performances where all students participate as performers.
