Shine On Performing Arts — Attraction in Cedar Park

I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact Shine on Performing Arts (SOPA) has had on our lives. SOPA truly has been the missing puzzle piece in our lives. Since joining, my daughter has found a sense of purpose and belonging that we had been searching for. The community established by Mrs. Emily is truly special. My daughter has formed genuine friendships and has been able to showcase her talents in ways we never imagined. The classes offered at SOPA have enhanced my daughters talent and also built her confidence.

We thank God every day that we found a community where everyone is accepted and appreciated, with Christ at the center of it all. Thank you once again for all that you do at SOPA. We look forward to continued growth and success in this...

I have seen so much growth in my daughter and every day, her confidence builds. She's making new friends and learning so much. Acting is such a great way to help anyone learn their self-worth, and SOPA is the perfect...

I genuinely wish with all of my heart that there was an option to give more than five stars to Shine On Performing Arts! As somebody who grew up in theater, has a deep love of the arts, and someone who is the mother whose children now love the arts… I’m struggling to find the words. Last night my girls and I attended opening night for HadesTown: Teen Edition. We didn’t attend because we knew a member of the cast. I consider us fortunate that a friend had shared with us about the studio. We attended solely to scope things out and get a feel if this is somewhere our family might want to participate in the future. I don’t say this slightly. I left changed. The passion, the details, the ease, the dedication, the execution, the fact that all of it was dedicated to The Lord… remarkable. This is a VERY good thing! I can’t believe something like this exists in our...
