Summer Camp is underway, and so is the 2026 Summer Scholarship Drive 🎉

Northwest Children's Theater continues to see historic demand for scholarships, and we are committed to providing these scholarships as a cornerstone of our organization. We believe it's important that arts programs stay accessible to all families—regardless of their ability to pay—and we need your help to make this happen.

Please help us raise $50,000 by the end of this summer to help fund our scholarship program and keep it thriving!

💙 DONATE today at nwcts.org/scholarship-drive

“All three of my children love the activities, teachers, and performing! I’m continually impressed with the quality of programming and caring of staff. It’s been wonderful watching my kids’ confidence grow with each performance!”
