Dear MPA families and patrons,

The health and safety of our audience, staff, students and artists is of the utmost importance to us. Thank you for being flexible as we adapt to rapidly changing circumstances with great consideration. 

We have made the decision to postpone performances of Into the Woods until Washington State is in phase 4. New performance dates will be announced as soon as they can be. 

We are unable to refund ticket purchases at this time. However, we will honor all tickets purchased and will reschedule your tickets for new show dates.  If you are unable or choose not to attend, please consider donating your tickets back to the theater. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly at info@MetropolitanPerformingArts.org

Canceling our March performances is an extremely difficult decision to make, but we know it is the socially responsible thing to do in order to best serve our community.

It is impossible to cancel these performances without creating serious hardships for our company and staff. We ask for your patience and support during this incredibly difficult time. We know this situation is impacting all areas of our economy, but if you can give a donation right now, there is no better time for your added support. Even the smallest donation will make an impact!
 
As this situation evolves, we will continue to update you with our plans moving forward to provide educational and performance opportunities in Southwest Washington.

Thank you for your continued support of Metropolitan Performing Arts!

What People are Saying About MPA

"Just went to see Heathers the Musical last night and it was amazing! The cast is outstanding and Veronica played by local high school senior, Kennidy is phenomenal! The performance gave me goosebumps from the incredible vocals to the fantastic choreography. Metropolitan Performing Arts is definitely a hidden gem and I would love to go back for future performances" - Katya Ochoa

"Went with my daughter to see Heathers. I wasn’t expecting much from such a small town theater , but I was very wrong. Wonderful performances by all involved. Will definitely be on the look out for the next performance!!!" -Katie Novosselov

"I am so impressed with Metropolitan Performing Arts! We have had such a great experience in working with them each year. Barbara Richardson has been so helpful in making sure that our daughter was getting the best of care. I also really appreciate the high quality level of costumes and props and imagination that are put into the Harry Potter LARP camps and also the performances we've seen during the years. The acting examples of the teachers and of the older students speaks well of the quality of teaching that my daughter is getting. I feel very fortunate that we have found this academy. And best of all our daughter just loves coming! We wouldn't miss it! In a day and age when money is tight, we feel it is money well spent." - Emily Ihasz

"Metropolitan Performing Arts is a wonderful performing arts school for children. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind. Their classes, events, and camps engage young people." - Kristin Nordberg

​"My daughter has been taking classes and performing with Metro for about a year and nothing makes her happier than being a part of this group. She has gained confidence and skills and has enjoyed every minute. She feels welcome and supported and encouraged by the warm and caring and talented staff. Metro is her "happy place." -Alia Woolfe Walsh

"My son has been with MPA since he was in 3rd grade. He came to me one day and said, "Mom, I want to be on stage." It is so amazing that there is a place like Metropolitan Performing Arts in our community to provide access to the arts for kids of all ages. Not just access, but QUALITY, authentic theater training, and classes. You've brought the passion out for my son. Thank you!​" - Gail Moore

"Great program for kids. My daughters have learned so much about being in a show. From auditioning to take down a set and everything in between. Great teachers and great environment!" -Cristina Kennington

"My kids have been taking lessons and performing with this group for years. While always mostly happy with things in the past, after recent changes to staff and programming, we are super happy. Amazing tap and jazz teachers and some really fun acting teachers. My kids have learned so much at MPA."-Kristie Gebhard

"We found Metropolitan Performing Arts by chance when I was looking for summer activities for my daughter. She loved it and now two years later being a part of the Metro Family has been such an amazing experience for us all. She has learned so much about singing, acting & dance. The productions are phenomenal, the instructors are passionate & make classes so fun for the kids. The friendships she has made and the confidence she has gained from taking part in shows & classes in these two years are priceless. Highly recommend for anyone with kids looking to find their niche in the performing arts!" - Joanna Connelly

"Life changing experience for my daughter! There has been a dramatic improvement in her grades at school and her drive to succeed in other areas of life since joining."- Melissa Galland
