How We Impact the Community
Cafeteria Kids Theater (CKT) was founded in 2014 to inspire, engage, and enrich the lives of young people in Napa Valley through the performing arts. Since then, CKT has reached over 10,000 students with inclusive, high-quality arts programming that includes full-scale musical productions, in-school residencies, after-school classes, acting workshops, holiday intensives, and summer camps for ages 3–18.
CKT is committed to equity and access by offering needs-based scholarships; we remove barriers to make participation available to all. Our programs are intentionally multi-age, fostering a unique environment where younger and older students learn from and support one another. Through student-driven storytelling and ensemble-based learning, CKT programming cultivates leadership, empathy, collaboration, and creativity. Participants build confidence and community as they grow artistically and personally. We believe every child deserves a chance to shine.
With your support, we can continue making the performing arts a joyful, empowering, and transformative experience for all children in our community.
Testimonial
There is nothing more validating than the people you respect and look up to putting their trust in who you are and what you bring to the table. In every CKT show I did, I learned and grew, not only as an actor but as a human being.
What a $10 donation buys
$10 buys art supplies for one student in our Imagination Drama Camps.
What a $50 donation buys
$50 buys 5 scripts for actors in our Middle/High School Production Class.
