STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Each month, we interview students in our studio programs at Cathedral Park Performing Arts Collective to find out what inspires them to engage in the performing arts. Read the latest post to learn more about the people who are the heart of this organization: our students.

TEACHER FEATURE
Welcome to Cathedral Park Performing Arts Collective’s “Teacher Feature,” our get-to-know-you station for our beloved instructors. We invited students to ask our instructors questions that would help us get to know our teachers a little better. Each post is the questions selected from our most recent batch, and our instructors’ responses to them.

Would you like to ask your teacher a question to be selected for our next “Teacher Feature?” Fill out one of the question slips in our studio classroom and drop it in our mailbox outside the classroom door. Your question might just be drawn next!

VIP VOLUNTEERS
Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Visit our VIP Volunteers page each month to learn about the generous folks who dedicate time each week and month to help our classes and events run smoothly.
