At Creative Kids Playhouse we strive to provide a top theater education. But don’t take our word for it. Take a look below at stories from our actors, family and community members.   

We are proud of the work we do and are appreciative of our community.  If you have participated in a CKP production, we would love to share your story. Go to our testimonials page to add yours.

Stories from our Community!

My youngest daughter started out afraid to sing alone; holding her sister’s hand and singing auditions at a whisper. Now, she loves to perform, self-assured and bold.She recently won the Camelot Player of the Year award.  Participating in CKP productions has been life-changing.My girls have learned to feel strong and powerful, not only in the theatre, but in life.They are excelling in school and in their personal friendships and interactions. We have been with CKP for over 6 years, and consider it part of our family.We look forward to the coming years participating in future shows.                               – Heidi Garrel

My kids love their programs

Creative kids playhouse is amazing for kids!! They build confidence and teach kids responsibility and performance. My kids love their programs.

They build the children’s confidence

I would give 10 stars if I could! My daughter has been in two plays so far and lives it! It has broken her of her shyness & public speaking isn’t a problem anymore! They build the children’s confidence, the kids support each other and the plays always turn out amazing! I’m looking forward to many more years with them!

Boost in confidence

I am very proud to be a part of Creative Kids Playhouse. I love to see the growth in the children each time they come back to do a show. It is amazing the boost in confidence from their first show to the second, and so on. Our staff works very hard to meet the needs of each individual child. To let them know that their ideas and their input is important to group as a whole. The kids become very close to their cast mates and truly help and support each other. Our staff is amazing. Many are currently working actors and musicians, all have extensive training and all truly care about the children they teach.

All children are encouraged and praised

My daughter has done two plays with Creative Kids Playhouse and had amazing experiences both times. Miss Jennifer makes rehearsals so much fun, and all of the children learn to sing and perform in a non competitive environment. Every child has a role to play in the show and all children are encouraged and praised for their efforts. I cannot recommend the Creative Kids Playhouse programs enough. My daughter is thrilled to invite all of her friends and family to her performances. Participating in the Creative Kids Playhouse plays has given my daughter a great sense of pride, fostered her natural talent and allowed her to meet new friends who share her passion for singing, acting and creating.

Everyone has a chance to shine

My daughter will be doing her third full length musical with CKP this spring and has done 2 summer camps with them as well. She absolutely loves this program and it’s been great to watch her grow and shine on stage. What I appreciate the most is that she has learned that every part is important, supporting or lead, and it’s not about the solos or number of lines that a part has that makes the show. Instead, it is about everyone working together to make the show come together and that everyone has a chance to shine. The staff and teachers are wonderful and do get to know the kids individually. (Also the convenience of having it as an after-school program at her school can’t be beat!)

Could have watched 100 times!

“I could have watched this performance 100 times!”

Jan B after seeing The Princess and the Pea March 30, 2016

Bravo!

We really enjoyed the show! Not only was our group of kids (ages 4-8) riveted, all of us adults genuinely laughed out loud often. Bravo!

 

A. Deutchman regarding Robin Hood March 30, 2016

Highly recommend

The whole production is fabulous.  My kids love being in your plays and can’t wait until the next one.  I highly recommend CKP to anyone who is looking for a highly organized, fun and creative experience for their child.  My favorite part of the program for my children is that they get to exercise their drama muscle in a positive way and you take care of all the stress.  I love seeing my kids participating on stage and having fun.  I don’t know how you can improve.

Peggy Hankin mother of three performers, after their second production March 30, 2016

A great full musical experience for the kids

Keep it up! One of the best run programs we’ve done (and we’ve done a lot!) Such a great full musical experience for the kids.  Loved the content, the process, and the final product.

Julie Ransom mother of two performers March 30, 2016

A great experience

It has been a great experience. The directors are very organized / good communicators, and every child gets an appropriate and fun part. Oh- and the music and scripts are awesome!”

Rebecca Mora mother of a seven year old performer, after her fourth production March 30, 2016

What our community is saying about us…

CKP nurtures each individual child

After seeing the CATE Awards show, the word that comes to mind, that should always be associated with CKP is “Nurture.”   CKP nurtures each individual child, no matter what level they are.  What a fantastic community this creates. What a wonderful place for children to learn and grow.
