Since 2005, Children’s Performing Arts has provided educational experiences for children through theater, music, and the performing arts. The organization’s mission is to provide a platform to explore artistic expression for children and their community through educational, theatrical experiences that enhance self confidence, personal growth, group collaboration, and leadership skills while building community partnerships. Children’s Performing Arts is focused on community engagement and building community partnerships and honors the uniqueness of each individual while embracing diverse backgrounds, values, and viewpoints to build a strong, inclusive community. The organization states that its goal is for educational offerings to focus on process rather than product, to measure success by the personal growth of every child taught, and for every child to feel a part of the whole production and learn that every role is important. Programs state that students gain communication skills, task commitment, discipline, and self confidence to apply in daily life at home, at school, and within their community. Children’s Performing Arts notes that it strives to create a supportive environment that welcomes all people regardless of race, beliefs, disability, or economic status. Staff includes Ruby Carlson, M.F.A.
