Jacksonville Performing Arts
Private
Jacksonville Performing Arts is a community children's theater at 3431 Richlands Hwy that runs youth summer camps in acting and musical theater, deliberately keeping class and production sizes small so each child gets personalized coaching. Its youth performers program began in 2017, and it also runs a free 10-12 week teen outreach theater program. Camp dates, ages and daily hours are not published on the site.

★★★★★Kayla HambyMy family had the great pleasure of being a part of the JPA family during our time in Jacksonville. My daughter did a 6 week summer camp as well as two productions. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for JPA as they have allowed my little girl to find her own community and grow her passion for theater! Mrs. Nikki is absolutely hands down the most encouraging, genuine, and lovely teacher to all of her performers. She is as passionate about building the kids’ confidence as she is about fostering good relationships and theater etiquette. We wish all the best to JPA as we move on. Thank you, JPA!
★★★★★Rachel ButlerI can’t say enough about how much our family has enjoyed our experiences with Nikki and the family that is JPA. If your child is interested in theatre, don’t hesitate to explore what JPA has to offer. My son has done a number of shows with Ms. Nikki and friends over the years, and I have seen him truly shine and grow as a performer with her. He says the moment he walks in the door his heart swells with joy. What more can a parent ask for?
★★★★★Sierra NealIf your child has an interest in theater and performing there isn’t a better place for them to be. JPA is the most welcoming and supportive place I have ever come across. They put so much effort into cultivating skills on stage and off. My daughter has learned so much more than just what it takes to put on a performance. I have seen her grow in her confidence, teamwork, and so much more due to JPA. My only disappointment is that I didn’t find them sooner.
★★★★★Adrienne WillafordThis was by far one of the best experiences for my 8 year old daughter. Nikki and her team are fun, loving, and encouraging. They packed a ton of learning in such a short period of time. I was so impressed with the work the kids did and how well they were showcased. We will definitely participate in more opportunities with JPA.
★★★★★Cecilia WagnerThis place is absolutely incredible. Ms. Nikki really loves what she does and really loves the kids. My daughters couldn't wait to go back to summer camp everyday this summer. They loved it so much that one of them came back for another show right after. Truly some incredibly kind, theater loving people. I HIGHLY recommend this.
