New Direction Performing Arts Academy is excited to announce our 2026 Summer Musical Theatre Intensive, once again in collaboration with the Players Guild Theatre. This year we are producing Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical.

At NDPAA, our mission is to change the direction of children’s lives through the arts, and there is no better way to do that than through a summer of creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. Students will spend the summer singing, dancing, acting, and building confidence as they work together to bring this powerful and playful musical to life.

Registration is open now and spots are limited.

Sign up soon… or you may end up with some revolting children at home who missed their chance.

Scholarships are available by application.
