Founded in 2011, Cincinnati Academy of Performing Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides after school programming in performing arts for students K-12 offering group classes, private lessons, and high quality community productions.
Today, CAPA offers high quality group classes and private instruction conveniently after school in the school environment. CAPA currently offers programming at the following schools: Indian Hill, Madeira, Mariemont, and Terrace Park. Private lessons are offered to students and adults at the following locations: Indian Hill, Mariemont, and Armstrong Chapel. Lessons at Indian Hill and Mariemont are open to students and adults living in the district, lessons at Armstrong Chapel are open to all students and adults from all over Cincinnati. Every summer we offer intensive summer theatre & film production camps that are open to all students from the Tri-State area. CAPA provides outreach programming in communities that have no arts programming. We are excited to be partnering with Mt Airy Elementary, Boys & Girls Club in Price Hill and Artsville in Madisonville.
Our mission
Foster and inspire excellence in all aspects of the performing arts for children and adults within Cincinnati and its surrounding communities through education and public engagement.
