North Texas Performing Arts - Plano

Amazing! My daughter loves this theatre group and is always begging to be apart of another production

Best performing arts program in DFW, bar none. So many opportunities and they have locations all over. Make sure you check out Starcatchers theatre troupe for people with disabilities. But check it all out! Great place to hone your art or appreciate performing art talent in the area.

Depressing. Bad acting, bad experience, bad, just bad...save yourself a few bucks and look elsewhere.

First rate surprise about NTPA and performance of 'Cabaret' on our first visit. I didn't even know the theatre was even here in the mall. Easy enough to get tickets on line and garage parking in the shade on hot TX summer day in Sep were great. The musical performance was superb; costumes, singing, acting, etc. Almost a full house for Sun afternoon show. Very talented people did a very entertaining job in a very limited space. Just use your imagination.

its pretty sussy baka, its like... SUS. mr mike is cool :D and the shows are suson a real note, i love the energy here. all the teachers are extremely kind and helpful.

Just saw Shrek! These people really love what they do and it comes thru in the kids performances. Reasonably priced and entertaining shows make a great week night out.

A great place to help your kid establish responsibility, a functional understanding of teamwork, work ethic and relationship building.Each performance success is based not only on your child's personal and cast contributions by also your help in promotion, set building, behind the set coordination...and of course...your money (anywhere from $200-$300 in my experience)This isn't a place you can pay to drop off your kid and expect them to service you as a baby sitter.Tech week (the week before the opening performance) requires 4 hours per day, and during school that can be a challenge. Keep this in mind before making commitment to the cast.Excellent institution for helping you grow your child in many aspects of the performing arts.Highly recommended. Takes both parents and a dedicated kid to make it a success!

It's amazing what the children, directors and parents of these shows are able to do with just a few weeks of practice and a ton of passion for the theatre. If you'd like to introduce our children to the theatre or just get out of the house for a great family activity, there's no better place that a show at PCT.

The directors select the same students for each production. It is difficult to get your child a chance to get a decent part. Even supporting roles. You can be amazing but the directors will still pick the same students. So many wonderful talented students. They just need a chance to shine. Great place others wise. If you are not a favorite it is tough. My child has attended NTPA for a long time. Still it is tough. Supportive staff. Feedback to improve is difficult to obtain. It appears that directors are afraid to hurt students feelings. I would rather have feedback so the student can improve. Wonderful loving environment. My child still enjoys NTPA.

Saw the performance of "Grease." A very challenging musical that requires all cast members to sing. Some could, some struggled, but everyone showed energy and enthusiasm. One of the male characters ("Kenickie") was played by a woman, which was a bit confusing given the plot of this play. The theater is hidden in a hallway near Dillard's on the top floor of Willow Bend Mall. I couldn't find it and tried calling the box office but only got voice mail. Suggest that the theater managers put signage in the mall and change the voice mail message so that the theater's location is stated up front.
