What our community is saying about us…

A Wholesome, Welcoming Environment for All

We have been involved with CKP since its inception. We applaud the founders of CKP who have remained true to their vision of what educational theatre should be: a wholesome, welcoming environment for all. We also admire the instructors: professional actors who are dedicated to helping our children grow in skills both in theatre and beyond. Over the years, I’ve noticed children with disabilities, extreme shyness, and LGBTQ children grow and thrive in the many productions we have been involved in. CKP has been a welcoming venue where all children are given their moment in the spotlight. On behalf of our family and other CKP families, I thank you in advance for your consideration of Creative Kids Playhouse as a recipient of your generosity.
