Orlando Youth Theater
for high-achieving students with busy family schedules
Watch your child regain their confidence in 12 quick weeks.
Your child will learn new skills to encourage them to regain confidence and learn to sing and dance in a safe space.
We put on 2 MUSICALS a year. This program runs 12 weeks and trains children in singing, dancing, and acting while putting on a grand final performance.
Little Bits
We are proud to invite students in grades K-4 to join the CFPA Little Bits. Little Bits meet Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30pm and put on a 30-minute musical in a professional theater. We have 2 professional teachers, Ms. Laura & Ms. Brittany to teach the students in a safe and nurturing environment. All students will be in wonderful costumes and start to learn all areas of the stage. Little Bits grouped together by age because this is a smaller group than our Junior musical. In the Little Bits, all students are promised a line (if they want them) and there are many solo and leadership opportunities. Here they learn the fundamentals of theater, classroom etiquette, vocal projection, memorization, coordination, and teamwork. For more information, click here.
Rehearsals: Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30pm
Theater Troupe
Our Junior cast is made up of beginners through advanced theater students in grades 5-12. Students of all levels with a good attitude and willingness to learn are invited to join the cast. We are a non-audition musical theater program to educate students in all areas of theater, performance, and self-pride and motivation. All students who register are guaranteed a role in the show to help them shine and grow.
How do auditions work? All students are taught the audition material at the first night of auditions. There is an opportunity to get an edge by attending the Audition Workshop and getting a couple extra days to practice and prepare the audition requirements. No child is required but we do encourage all to audition for the practice and life experience.
Rehearsals: Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm

Message from your Director
Brittany Noltimier
After 12 years as a national dance judge, award-winning educator, and former professional dancer at Walt Disney World, Brittany believes in individualized paths to success. She travels globally to study theater and dance and aims to bring big city opportunities to her students.
“My mission is to inspire young artists to overcome the struggles of growing up. To regain their confidence and overcome obstacles holding them back in regular day activities. I understand how hard it is growing up in a social media world where instant gratification is expected but not the reality. I must help my students understand the reality and finally create their own joy.”
That’s why I’m inviting you to help your child launch their dreams: where true talent is nurtured through hard work and perseverance
It is life changing when they finally surpass their limits and it is an honor to see their transformation in confidence. These young students reach new heights they never could have thought possible! You, the parent gets to be a part of their process – their number one front runner; just as my mom was (and still is) for me.” – Brittany

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.
How do auditions work?
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.
Is CFPA only for people who have prior experience?
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.
What if my child is afraid to audition?
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.
We also have a separate program called the SHOW ENSEMBLE built for new students to musical theater. It is a 3 week commitment where they still get to be onstage and in the shows. No students in the show ensemble will audition.
