★★★★★Jeff BorglumThese shows are not your average high school play performance. The shows are very high quality with amazing talent performances. Even more amazing is the staff that casts and coaches every kid that is involved with each production. They are helping build kids confidence, public speaking abilities, creative skills, working with teams, I can't say enough about the people that work there. My wife and I have been to several shows and intend to see more in the future. You should try them out, you will not be disappointed.
★★★★★Pete IhlenfeldtRecently went to see a production of Little Shop of Horrors by CPA. I've seen a lot of youth theater productions, worked in some, played music in some... enough to have an idea of the challenges. The level of professionalism I saw that day was really impressive. The facility is beautiful, the kids seemed to be truly enjoying themselves, and the show was great. Very entertaining. Consider involvement or support, or even just consider it as a family-friendly entertainment option some night. You will be glad you did.
★★★★★Nor OlsonThree generations of our family went to a recent play and we all loved it! You'll definitely enjoy going to a performance -- the prices were very reasonable. Definitely amazing family entertainment!
★★★★★Sonja ThorsonCPA puts on high quality productions with adorable kids who are extremely talented. Your kids get to register then audition after the director gets to know the kids. It's rare these days, but everyone who registers gets a part! The CPA community creates a fun, educational, and memorable experience for not just the actors, but for their families and the community. CPA truly cares about each production and each child who walks through their door.
★★★★★Sharon Hanifl-LeeChildren’s Performing Arts is amazing!! They work with my children at their ability. They truly care about every child and make them feel like they are part of the production and their part matters! Every child that registers gets a part and with that they put on high level productions!!!
