Children For The Arts

Youth Theatre

OUR MISSION

We encourage positive role modeling and individual expression, as well as nurturing children in intellectual, artistic, and personal development through performing opportunities, and extraordinary theatre experiences. Children learn the fundamentals of acting, stage presence and working alongside their peers. These lifelong skills not only apply to the theatre, but to public speaking, critical and creative thinking, self-esteem, and the development of leadership abilities.

I loved theatre from a young age, but Children for the Arts is what turned that love into a passion. Acting in these programs through middle school improved my confidence, creativity, and teamwork. CFTA led me to FSU and a degree in Theatre and English, then Washington DC, where I am the Membership Manager at one of the most historic theaters in the district. Without Children for the Arts, I would not be where I am today! - Becca Barton
