We are very excited for our upcoming Children’s Achieving Theatre Excellence (C.A.T.E.) Awards Show and Gala Fundraiser. This red carpet event is very important to our organization, helping us to achieve our mission of expanding educational youth theatre for all in Orange County. Not only is the C.A.T.E. awards ceremony the moment where we celebrate the outstanding contributions of local youth from the 38 Creative Kids Playhouse musicals and plays performed in 2019, this is our nonprofit’s major fundraiser of the year. 

Creative Kids Playhouse Children’s Theatre of Orange County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to provid-ing quality theatre education to children ages 3-18. We believe that theatre education fosters key life skills; including confidence, communication, creative problem solving and accountability. Many of our families have reported that participation in our children’s theatre has been life changing; it has equipped their children with the confidence and tools to be the best version of themselves, to value their own abilities as well as the contributions of others, and to boldly face life. We produce musicals, plays, camps, classes and school plays, and are proud to say that we provide merit and need based scholarships to at least one student for each program. In 2019 alone we have provided $9300 in scholarships to our programs. 

None of this important work would be possible without the help of our valued community partners.  Thank you in advance for your generosity in helping us expand educational youth theatre for all in Orange County.
