North Texas Performing Arts (NTPA) is moving its headquarters to a newly constructed facility in Plano. The organization, which describes itself as the largest youth theatre group in the United States, will establish its new base at the NTPA Center of the Arts located at 2819 W. 15th St.
The upcoming complex is designed to support the group’s extensive operations, which include theatre productions, educational initiatives, and community outreach. The facility will house four performance stages, six dance and rehearsal studios, private practice rooms, and a set-building shop. These spaces are intended to serve NTPA’s 11,000 annual students and more than 400,000 visitors who attend its programs.
The site is situated near the intersection of Independence Parkway and the George Bush Turnpike. Organizers note that the location provides easy access for residents across Plano and the wider North Texas region, with nearby dining and shopping options available. A dedicated landing page has been established at NTPA.org/HOME to provide additional details regarding the move.
To finance the project, NTPA has initiated a capital campaign titled Save Our Stages. The organization aims to raise $2.5 million through pledges, sponsorships, and in-kind services. Donors can contribute by sponsoring specific theatres or studios, or by supporting recognition features such as a Stars Honor Wall and an Actor Photo Gallery.
The group is also recruiting volunteers with professional expertise to assist with planning and construction costs.
