Powered by GoogleBest investment you can make in your child. Fantastic training for students serious about performing arts. Even if theatre isn’t their dream for the future, the skills learned here will carry with them. Youth with the ability to tell a story, engage an audience and have the confidence to stand before a crowd is a skill they will use over and over again in the real world. If performances is their dream, this is where you want them to be. No regrets! Make the investment!
This is my first visit to BAPA in Daphne with my 15 yo daughter (who had friends in the show). We attended Rock Of Ages, HS version, and it was great! As an 80's kid who remembers these Power Ballad & Hair Metal songs by heart, ROA struck me as a love letter to the Reagan era. Not just the music, but the optimism from that decade. The teenagers performing on stage clearly loved the material. All ages in the audience clearly enjoyed the production. Totally awesome! #80sForever
BAPA is a great theater company on the Eastern Shore! My children loved their experiences performing. They've made great friends and their self confidence has grown tremendously. It's a great family community.
This is the best theatre group EVER! We have been involved since the first show. Watching my kids have fun and put on great shows is only part of it. The environment is wonderful. It's happy and fun and we are a family! Tara Knight is definitely doing what she was meant to do. I am so thankful something this wonderful exists in Daphne!
My son has loved every minute of his experience with Bay Area Performing Arts! I've seen him develop confidence and leadership skills! And he has learned so much about theatre and many other things! We are so thankful to be a part of such an amazing group of people!!!
