"On stage, behind the scenes or in the audience, CCPA needs you!"

The Community Council on the Performing Arts...

CCPA was established in Nevada, Missouri, in 1973.  Since that time, the CCPA has provided over 200 amateur productions for the benefit of the residents in Nevada, Vernon County, and the surrounding area.  The CCPA has touched hundreds of lives in our area through our audiences, workers behind the scenes, or performers on stage.  Our organization takes a leading role in providing artistic opportunities and experiences for the general public and also provides the youth in our local school districts with specialized programming.  Read Grizzabella Fox's Arts Blog for random thoughts, pictures and reviews.

Since 1973 the Community Council on the Performing Arts has strived to maintain the highest quality productions for our loyal patrons.  The Fox Playhouse is the only venue CCPA uses for its performances, and, in order to help offset expenses for maintenance, royalties and utilities, sponsorships are vital.  Please take a few minutes to consider an ad or sponsorship and email us at main@nevadamoccpa.org for more information.

Our Next Production:  Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men, based on the novella by John Steinbeck, will open February 23, 2012 and run through February 26.  The play is directed by Alfred Fenske and sponsored by Hoffman Financial Resources.  This production is a reunion of the director and many of the performers who appeared some years ago in a previous staging for CCPA.  To learn more about this play, go to Information and Synopsis
