From the desk of the President…
The end of the 2024/2025 season is upon us, here at the Children’s Theatre of Annapolis! As we close out our Season of Discovering Wonder, we are so excited to open the third and final installment, Disney’s Finding Nemo JR. The show opens on Friday, May 16th, running through June 1st. This is gearing up to be a not to be missed show! Get your tickets now at https://cta.ticketleap.com/disneys-finding-nemo-jr/
CTA is finishing a fantastic year, but the Arts face many challenges. This is a hard time to be in the performing arts non-profit arena.
In difficult times, the arts have always been a source of light—and right now, that light needs your help to keep shining.
At CTA we create more than just performances. We create safe spaces for children to express themselves, build confidence, and find their voice. But like so many arts organizations, we’re facing unprecedented challenges: funding cuts, rising costs, and fewer opportunities for creative programming in schools.
As support for the arts declines nationwide, small community theatres like ours are being hit the hardest.
In a world that’s growing louder and more chaotic, children need a stage to dream, to speak, and to be heard. With your support, we can keep the curtain rising.
CTA relies on your support to keep the joy and talent you see on stage going. Please see various ways you can support.
- Volunteer! We love and rely on our volunteers to put on our fantastic shows, but also to support the work we do, like education and community outreach
- Construction slated to start on our annex had to be delayed. While it is delayed, you can still support this future project! This will allow CTA to expand its reach and become a leading arts center. Please help support via our capital campaign.
- General Donations can be given using this link; Donate
We love our surrounding and local community! We have over 6,000 people come through our doors annually. With the annex buildout, this number will only increase! Sponsorship with CTA is a great idea for any local business or business that is child-focused. For sponsorship opportunities, email amyschropp@childrenstheatreofannapolis.org.
