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. We address a gap in accessible, high-quality arts education in local schools and community programs.
Since then, CKT has reached over 15,000 students with inclusive programming, including full-scale musical productions, in-school residencies, after-school classes, acting workshops, and summer camps serving ages 3–17. Multi-age, ensemble-based learning allows younger and older students to collaborate while building creativity, communication, leadership, and empathy, culminating in live performances that build tangible accomplishment and community connection.
CKT is committed to equity and access by offering needs-based scholarships, removing barriers so participation is available to all. We believe every child deserves a chance to grow through this enriched experience. With community support, we can continue expanding access and providing transformative arts experiences that build confidence, belonging, and joy in our community. Donor support makes this work possible by funding scholarships, teaching artists, and school partnerships.
