The Mission of the North Texas Performing Arts is to develop the character of youth through quality performing arts education and family entertainment.

North Texas Performing Arts (NTPA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to developing the character of youth through quality performing arts education and family entertainment. Since 1991, Our objective is to use the arts to build "better citizens". While we put on great shows, our favorite expression is that “It’s not about the show”; it's about the educational experience our students gain from their time with us as they develop their character both on-stage and off. We do this by focusing on what we call the “Ten Characters” that define the character traits that we want our directors and staff to focus upon as we teach our students. Our directors work with actors ages 5-18. North Texas Performing Arts is comprised of five youth theatre troupes in Plano, Frisco, Fairview, Dallas, Southlake in addition to the NTPA Academy, NTPA Film Studios, Starcatchers (therapeutic arts troupe for individuals with disabilities), and the NTPA Deaf Theater. Those interested can learn more about the North Texas Performing Arts at NTPA.org.
