Your Support Matters

At Creative Kids Playhouse, we teach and encourage our young actors to discover new talents, cross barriers, and develop a love for the arts. As they stand on our stage, they develop lifetime skills, confidence, and passions. Their achievements, large and small, are cause for celebration.

We depend on the financial support of people like you to help us bring musical theatre to our community.  We ask you to please join us in bringing CKP programs to more children and help form confident, talented community members.
We are unique because with CKP, every child registered is in the show! Our audition process is how our directors assign show parts, not who’s in and who’s out.
Ways to help:
  • DONATE ONLINE – A tax receipt will be emailed to you.
  • Donate your car, truck, RV or Boat – Your vehicle will be towed away, auctioned off, and 70% of the proceeds will be donated to Creative Kids Playhouse through the organization Donate For Charity.
  • Shop for groceries at Ralphs, register your Ralphs card to send a percentage of your purchase to Creative Kids Playhouse. Follow these directions to register your Ralphs card, use our Organization Number, LD148.
  • Sponsor A Show details about this exciting new program will be coming soon.

VOLUNTEER

In 2022 CKP enrolled 590 kids in 27 productions.  That simply would not be possible without volunteers.  This village needs seamstresses, set builders, photographers, bakers, ticket takers, ushers and more.  If you would like to donate some of your valuable time and attention to a coming production or an ongoing theatre need, please let us know.  We are happy to learn where your interest lies and match you with a volunteer opportunity.

What our community is saying about us…

A transformation had occurred

In fifth grade my outgoing, sweet son was floundering. He was being bullied at school, and struggling with his confidence in and out of the classroom. That fall he was in his first musical, and was in another in the spring. By the time sixth grade began I realized what a transformation had occurred. He began to walk taller, stand up for himself and be content being himself. His grades came up, possibly because he spoke up to his teachers when he needed help. The bullying ended. He has a nice group of friends, many of whom he met through Creative Kids Playhouse. He is now in eighth grade, succeeding in school and beginning to move toward other interests. The impact theater has had on his life is tremendous. I’m so happy for him, I know that he is equipped to be who he wants to be in life.
