Creative Arts Productions

Creative Arts Productions (CAP) is an organization that offers a 4-week theatre workshop for youth, open to St. Joseph and surrounding area students, completing 3rd (entering 4th grade Fall 2021)-12th grades. Our summer workshop is held annually at the end of June/early July. Students meet Monday-Friday, 8 am – 12 pm, DAILY participation is required. The workshop provides students with an opportunity to explore the world of theatre by introducing youth to the stage and providing experienced performers more stage time to hone their skills. Participants receive over 80 hours of instruction from a professional staff, learning all facets of theatre including auditioning, character development, stage presence, acting, singing, dancing, set design, lighting and more. No prior theatre experience is necessary, only enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. For many participants, CAP is their first experience with theatre. Live stage performances are held the last weekend of the workshop and take place at the Historic Missouri Theater. These performances are open to the community.

Students are encouraged to think critically and make creative choices while continually stressing the importance of teamwork. At the end of just a few weeks, students grow to become true performers. The program works as a catalyst to inspire creativity, a lifelong skill that can help your child innovate no matter what career they choose. It’s the ideal way to empower your child’s growth this summer!
