Inspiring and Nurturing Talents in the Performing Arts

School of the Arts......MadCAP's School of the Arts provides opportunities for people of all ages to work with professional teaching artists in creatively challenging projects that inspired and nurture talents in the performing arts.

MadCAP's Studio is centrally located in downtown Madison so that young people from throughout Madison and the surrounding communities can develop their artistic talents within the context of a community of supportive and caring teaching artists.

Theatre for Young Audiences.....MadCAP believes that it is important for families to find guidance and comfortable ways to share and discuss ideas and concern with their children.  To reach this goal, MadCAP chooses classic stories with  positive, life-affirming themes.  

Last year, MadCAP expanded programming to include theatrical productions designed by talented professional theatre artists and performed by adult actors and young people.  MadCAP's NEW Theatre for Young audiences program performs for Wisconsin's young audience members.

All MadCAP Programs..... are open to all people without regard to race, creed, ethnic background, physical or mental disability or income level. (MadCAP School of the Arts programs are open-enrollment.  Participants are placed in programs depending on age and experience.  Cast members for MadCAP Theatre for Young Audiences are selected during auditions open to the public.)  Tuition fees and ticket sales are waived or pro-rated for low income families based on the US Government’s Housing and Urban Development poverty guidelines.

Every donation helps to make our program accessible to all young people.
