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…

Growing Up on the CKP Stage

Creative Kids Playhouse nurtured me as a performer and as a human being. Growing up on the CKP stage gave me not just performance training (though CKP’s training is top notch), but leadership skills, empathy, and the confidence to go for my dreams. I am now pursuing my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts in Theatre at one of the top theatre schools in the nation, and I cannot thank CKP enough for their love, support, and faith in me as a performer and a leader.
