North Texas Performing Arts (Willow Bend Center of the Arts)

"The is a bit outdated, old and smelly - but the performance was outstanding!"

"Wow! What a great performance, and if your one that enjoys homegrown talent in theater production this is definitely a gem. Hubby and I visited this on a date night and were pleasantly surprised by the production!!"

"I greatly enjoyed the shows I participated in at this theater, however as time went on they became more focused on who donated more, and began to cast based on that. There was a lot of favoritism shown by some directors for students who's parents volunteered and donated money, and those who's parents were busy were often cast as ensemble regardless of skill or experience. The administration there is rarely concerned with anyones opinions if they don't donate any money. Watching the shows is a fun experience. (Edit in response) Donors names are put in the playbills, on the walls, and on the rooms based on their donation amount. Directors are definitely aware of the donors."

"This is an amazing facility and the number of shows and the quality is outstanding. My family and I drive from Irving to attend performances there and I am always blown away by the talent of the kids and adults. The lighting, sound and seating is excellent in each of their four theaters. I wish I had this when I was a kid! Recently I heard they do birthday parties there for kids and I think there was a birthday group there when I last saw Junie B. Jones. What a COOL idea away from the usual pizza place..."

"My 8 year old nephew enrolled in a week-long camp here and had a blast. He’s currently crying because he’s going to miss all the friends he made so much. The staff was very attentive, talented, and kind, and their performance is something our family will treasure for a long time"
