Our Voices In The Community
Here at JPAC , We encourage programs that are designed for each age group, giving your performer their time to shine. We do not believe in the third tree from the left . We keep our classes and production sizes small to ensure that each child receives the most personalized training. Our goal is to instill confidence, self esteem and accomplishment within our performer while also cultivating friendship, support and empathy for each other.
Although we do not supply costumes, we will share whatever we have in our magic closet!!
donations are always appreciated.
We strive to keep our programs affordable and each production is on average $12.50 per hour for your child. We cannot give sibling discounts as we truly cannot go any lower and maintain our company, staff and cost of programs.
We do offer PAY LATER through PayPal upon check out for payment plans.
SPRING PROGRAM RELEASE January 19th 2026
Unfortunately we can no longer accept registrations or hold spots without payment . We do have the PAYPAL PAY LATER option for your convenience. Please note:
If you would like to be added to our Financial aid/Sponsorship program list, please email Nikki @ jpatheater@gmail.com
Our children learn through play!! So what better way than for your child to imagine , create and perform their own characters. We build a story together , throw in a couple of fabulous songs and before you know it.... We have a GREAT SHOW !! You are never too young to get started in Theatre!!

The Magic Closet
If you have been coming to JPA for a while now, your performer will have told you all about
THE MAGIC CLOSET.
When the lights go out, something extraordinary happens. Costumes don't just hang quietly. They burst to life as Royalty, Knights, Heroes, Creatures and Fairies...but oh no...danger is inching its way closer as The Evil Unraveler shows up, pulling at threads and tearing at dreams, determined to unravel the magic forever.
Can the Performers & Closet characters save the day !
Will Ms. Nikki lose her closet and her mind?
Will the Magic Closet even survive!!!
A fun and fabulous story of friendship, courage ,family and a whole lot of glitter.
So hold onto your hats, button up your bravery and get ready as the adventure begins.
Of course this is based on a true story!
