The National Endowment for the Arts says, “Students who study the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement. Research shows sustained learning in music and theater correlates strongly with higher achievement in both math and reading.” In addition to the academic benefits, performing arts intrinsically build a strong sense of self, community, and belonging. The arts are worthwhile, needful, and FUN!
Come grow with us!

Melanie Prince, Director
Melanie Prince has been teaching Acting and Musical Theatre for almost two decades. She earned her BA in theatre with emphasis in Acting and Musical Theatre from California State University Sacramento. She lead a Northern CA charter high school theatre program for three years and has also owned and operated a children's performing arts school in Nashville TN. She spent three amazing years working with Estes Tarver at Moonlight Stage Company in Raleigh. After realizing the need for strong acting and arts programs in the Western Wake Region, Melanie founded CAPA, Carolina Academy of Performing Arts. She is the Artistic Director of CAPA and primary director and acting instructor. Melanie is represented by Terri Dollar of KU talent. Among her favorite roles and director's credits are Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Mrs. Cratchet in David Ira Wood III's "A Christmas Carol" that afforded her life long dream of performing abroad. She treasures the experiences she's had performing with her children most of all. Acting is a family affair and she has spent countless hours on commercial, television and major motion picture sets. Growing talent in others and helping them to express themselves is as rewarding to her as being on stage herself for they, “are such stuff as dreams are made of” (Shakespeare).
