Jacksonville Performing Arts Company is the first ever" Boutique Theater" in the united states. JPA created the boutique theater to be a more immersive experience for their patrons, a lovely family atmosphere for the entire family. We are here to build confidence, self esteem and friendship within our casts . We do not believe in the third tree to the right, but that every actor gets their moment to shine on stage. This has proven a huge asset in the growth of our thespians and the growth within our community. We may be smaller but we are mighty!

JPAC believes in giving back to our community through the Arts. We have donated $12,833 to the USO of North Carolina, Jacksonville Center. We have been able to do this through your support and patronage . Thank you !

TEEN OUTREACH program that is a FREE program for our teens. We offer a safe and supportive environment for our teens to build their self esteem and make everlasting friendships. We produce a full production after 10- 12 week rehearsal schedule . It has so far proven to be incredibly successful and beneficial. Last year we gave 60 performers the chance to perform on stage in 3 fabulous productions. We also work with many actors on the spectrum and with disabilities. We have seen huge benefits and incredible growth with these programs.

We are also very honored to be to partnered with the City of JACKSONVILLE RECREATION & PARKS for their" SUMMER CULTURAL ART " series. Holding performances at the Jacksonville Amphitheater . A Community show by the community for the community FREE OF CHARGE to include local dance companies and other amazing talent right here in our own home town.

We are also thrilled to be in partnership with OCPL - Onslow County Public Library to assist in their " Express Yourself" program geared towards Teens that need an outlet to create and be heard.

We have also teamed up with the fabulous Theaters at MCCS Lejeune-New River to bring professional Broadway shows to the stage for the Military community. These shows will be FREE of charge and are performed yearly.

Our JPAC Youth Performer division has grown in leaps and bounds and we are expanding!!!We now run a School of the Arts programs for ages 5-15 years, Each program is designed for a specific age group so that each child has their moment to shine and build confidence on stage. We also keep these classes smaller so that every performer gets the attention and training they deserve.

We just created the Young Entrepreneur Program - Where any entrepreneur under 19 years are able to come and sell their products and creations at our theater on market days.

Masterclasses & Workshops - We are outsourcing some of the top instructors in their fields to come and share their knowledge and expertise with us. We are so excited about all the networking possibilities this will give to our community to further their dreams and education.

Margaret Pollard Foundation - Last year we personally sponsored 30 youth performers and was able to sponsor another 45 with outside sponsors. We have so many children that would love the chance to become part of the arts programs that do not have the funds or ability to attend private classes. Please click on our " Sponsor a Child ' tab to assist us in reaching more youth performers and giving them the gift of confidence, self esteem and above all friendship!! We thank you in advance!!!
