Parent Information

Participating in musical theater is a gift you have given your child that will pay dividends for life.  Not only will they have wonderful memories to last a lifetime from this musical, but they will have improved skills in singing, dancing, communicating, memorization, and teamwork.  Be it pitching their start-up idea to investors, leading a business meeting, toasting at a friend’s wedding, standing up for their own children at a PTA meeting, or continuing to participate in theater, your child will be able to present themselves more confidently.

 

In addition, participation helps with schoolwork. A UCLA study of 25,000 students shows that Theatre Arts improves all academic performance. Standardized test scores increase 65 points on the verbal component, and even 35 points on math and science.

 

We at Creative Kids Playhouse Children’s Theatre of Orange County commend you on this excellent parenting decision!

What our community is saying about us…

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.
