Children's Performing Theatre
The Children’s Performing Theatre group has performances in the Powerhouse Theatre at the Sermon Center. This group is here to provide opportunities for children ages 5-15 to participate in community theatre at little to no cost to families. They strive to promote and encourage the advancement and development of children’s theatre in the Independence community and produce plays for the artistic enjoyment of those who participate in them and come to see them.
