CKP celebrates her imagination and creativity

My eight year old has been involved in CKP productions since she was three, and it is her favorite thing to do. To her, it is a celebration of her favorite way to play. I’m not convinced she’s acting – I think that she is just playing pretend and dress-up, made even more wonderful because the big kids are playing with her and there’s music and sets. CKP celebrates her imagination and creativity, and makes her feel like her contribution to each production is very valuable.

Every parent’s dream

We were struggling to find an activity that our daughter truly enjoyed when we saw our first flier for a CKP production.  Remembering how much she loved her little school performances, I signed her up.  She has been in every full production CKP has put on since then (a total of 8 now) and has loved every single one of them.  Her personal growth as a little actress has been so much fun to watch and to see her doing well at something she truly enjoys is every parent’s dream.

Instilled a strong determination and discipline

We were lucky to find Creative Kids Playhouse Theatre to continue to engage and develop her acting passion.   The positive energy and belief that every child could shine was evident.  The interest in seeking out and developing every actor’s potential in a non-threatening and fun way was also an integral part of the program.  Since then, my daughter has starred in a total of seven performances through Creative Kids Playhouse Theatre in which she has been cast in a variety of different roles both leading and supporting.    Being involved in Creative Kids Playhouse Theatre made a major impact on my daughter so much so that when she was accepted to both the Visual Arts  Conservatory and Integrated Arts Conservatory program at OSCA, she chose Integrated Arts so she could act.

Her experience with Creative Kids Playhouse Theatre has instilled in her a strong determination and discipline as well as the motivation to persevere even when the situation seems overwhelming that shines through in every aspect of her life.

A teaching environment that makes her so happy

They say that the best thing in the world is seeing your children be happy. The joy my daughter exudes when she is on stage, at rehearsal with CKP, and practicing onstage is contagious. Thank you for creating a teaching environment that makes her so happy!

It is part of who he is now

My son is hooked.  He is hooked on the fun, the confidence building, the challenge, the different roles he takes on and mostly the true friendships that have developed because of Creative Kids.   He loves it all.  It becomes a family for these kids, a second family if you will.  He was hesitant in the beginning, and once he performed  for the first time, he hasn’t looked back.  He has probably done 12 performances and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.  It is part of who he is now.  He is a well rounded great kid.  (if I do say so myself)  And who he is has a lot to do with Creative Kids Playhouse.

Better than many high school musicals

The Excalibur Players production of Bye Bye Birdie was better than many high school musicals that I’ve seen. CKP’s best production to date.

A Confidence Builder

Our son had struggled to find an activity that he felt he “belonged” in.  He had tried several sports and nothing clicked.  In third grade he saw a friend in a show with Creative Kids Playhouse and decided to give acting a shot.  His first part was in “Sleeping Beauty from the Witch’s Point of View” and he absolutely loved it!  He has been in several Creative Kids Playhouse productions since and has also participated in a musical theater workshop and a voice class that they offered.  It’s been such a confidence builder for him and he’s had a great time.  And the staff at Creative Kids Playhouse is so amazing!

“I never have to be afraid of that again!”

One fifth grade girl was terrified. She enjoyed the rehearsals, but was so scared of the idea of an audience that she asked for a very very small part. Even at dress rehearsal she asked with pleading eyes if she could drop out. I convinced her to just do the first of the three scheduled performances, and decide after that one.  She ran up to me after the final curtain of the first performance, beaming. “Mrs. Ramirez, Mrs. Ramirez, Guess what?!  I did it! And it was fun! And I never have to be afraid of that again!”  She is currently getting ready to audition for her third musical, and I’ve heard that she is hoping for the lead.
