Over the past three years, our sponsors have helped NTPA to award over $300,000 in scholarships to help local youth attend our program.

Our members give us the ability and inspiration to continue our work each day. Without their support, we couldn’t continue to bring performing arts education to the children of Dallas, McKinney, Frisco, Fairview, and Plano. Membership starts as low as $50 and provides benefits for North Texas Performing Arts and for you. If you are not already a member, please consider joining us today.
