About the Nonprofit
Visit Our Website
Founded in 1991, North Texas Performing Arts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing the character of youth through quality performing arts education and family entertainment.
NTPA’s vision is to light the passion of the performing arts for our youth, and ensure all youth have the opportunity for the profound experience of taking the stage and having their voices heard.
Our educational philosophy is based on a leadership model we call the Ten Characters. We promote the life skills of Teamwork, Leadership, Responsibility, Respect, Self-Confidence, Integrity, Discipline, Gratitude, Positive Attitude, and, above all, to Love One Another. We use these principles to guide our youth on a path to become better citizens within their communities.
