Maybe they love to sing at home but freeze up in public.
Maybe they’ve tried other activities but still haven’t found “their thing.”
Or maybe you just want them to come out of their shell and connect with kids who get them.
At CFPA, we help kids ages 5–18 build real confidence, lasting friendships, and lifelong skills through musical theater — whether they’ve done shows before or not.
Your child will prepare for upcoming musicals with our 3-day virtual bootcamp — on their own schedule. Includes video lessons and feedback to build confidence and clarity.

Nope! Our families have validated parking each week. You will get a parking ticket when you enter the garage. We will give you a QR code to scan when it's time to exit the parking garage.
We know this is an important question, and audition processes can vary by program. To help clarify, we’ve created a video that explains how our auditions are conducted. CLICK HERE to watch now.
No, we have beginner to advanced students. When putting on a musical, there is a need for all levels and talents. Each child is given a specific role to make them succeed and learn to their best ability.
No child is required to audition. We highly encourage and recommend it as it is a great learning lesson but we do not force the kids to audition. Only students who audition will get speaking and singing roles.
Brittany Noltimier is a dancer first — and now a trusted mentor, choreographer, director, and coach for the next generation of performers. As the founder of CFPA and host of the Dance Colleges & Careers podcast, Brittany blends years of elite performance experience with a deep passion for helping kids and teens find their voice on stage.
She works full-time coaching performers in facial expression, storytelling, and stage presence — both in her CFPA program and through competitive dance training groups nationwide. When she’s not in the studio, she’s traveling as a master teacher, national dance judge, and competition director. Every lesson she teaches is shaped by the world-class training and opportunities she’s received — and now passes on.
Whether in a 12-week production or a coaching session, Brittany is committed to delivering more than just “regular classes” — she offers training that transforms.
“It is my mission to create confident and focused young people through a supportive theater community, where every child is seen, valued, and celebrated — not just the lead roles.
I started this journey because I loved musical theater. But I continue because I love watching children grow — not just as performers, but as people. Watching them take ownership, build confidence, and transform into responsible, kind humans is the most rewarding part. It’s an honor to play a small part in their life — even if theater isn’t forever.
Whether they end up on Broadway or in a boardroom, I know the skills they learn at CFPA will carry them forward — and I’m proud to help them thrive.”
