Children For The Arts produces three plays every school year at Pine Ridge Middle School. Productions are open to all children ages 6-16 and every child is guaranteed a role when they audition!
Join our backstage crew and learn the fundamentals of what makes a production run smoothly while having fun! This program is open to ages 15+ with or without experience and is a great way to get volunteer hours.
Support Children For The Arts through sponsorships, advertisements and contributions. All proceeds go directly back into the Children's Theatre to help us with the costs of sets, props, costumes, technical equipment and other necessities that help produce successful productions. Your support helps every child involved with Children For The Arts.

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. Volunteering behind the scenes as a director and writer throughout high school helped me learn leadership skills, storytelling, and the importance of community engagement. Children for the Arts inspired me to love theatre and see its potential to inspire others. It led me to FSU and a degree in Theatre and English, then Washington DC, where I have recently become 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!

Children For The Arts is an incredible program that really helps children come out of their shell and learn what theatre is all about! I'm so lucky that I was able to participate when I was in school and volunteer when I was in high school. It is such a fulfilling experience for all participants. I loved watching the kids surprise themselves as they go outside of their comfort zones and find success. This theatre is such a safe space for kids to try new things and make new friends.
