CTA’s New Arts Center!
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you about a significant new chapter in the life of Children’s Theatre of Annapolis. It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the public kickoff of our capital campaign, Growing Our Reach, dedicated to expanding CTA’s existing home as well as building a stronger arts community in Annapolis and the State of Maryland.
With the transformation of our existing annex into a state-of-the-art multipurpose arts center where students ages 5 -18 will learn dancing, acting and singing, CTA positions itself as a regional arts and culture leader. This campaign expands CTA’s campus to include two new classrooms as well as black box theater that will seat more than 75 patrons.
Together, we can help our students achieve extraordinary things and give them a safe space to learn, explore, create, and express themselves. We invite you to join us in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity by making a generous gift to our Growing Our Reach Campaign. Help us bring this facility and vision to life.
