FAQs & DETAILS
Cancellation & Refund Policy
All classes at the Naples Players and in our KidzAct programming have a maximum number of students able to register. By choosing to register and pay tuition for a class, you are securing your spot in the class and therefore holding that spot from being given to another interested student. For that reason, if you ultimately decide to no longer take the class and cancel your registration, there is a small fee for holding that spot from other registrants which is reflected in our refund policy below:
For Traditional/School Year Programming:
- If you cancel your spot more than a week out from the start date of class, you can receive a 90% refund.
- If you cancel your spot less than a week from the start date of the class, you can receive a 75% refund.
- If you cancel your class after the start date, you will not be given a refund
Where should my child start?
TNPA has always been working to provide quality arts education for all ages and experience levels. We typically break Showcase classes into groups by age, with Performance classes (accessible by audition) reserved for those ready to take the stage and the spotlight!
If you’re unsure which class to sign up for, call our Director of Youth Education at 239-434-7340 ext. 108.
How often do sessions start?
Our classes follow a seasonal schedule:
- FALL CLASSES run August–November with registration opening in late July or August
- WINTER CLASSES run January–March with registration opening in November
- SPRING CLASSES run March-May with registration opening in February
- SUMMER CLASSES / CAMP runs June–August with registration opening in April.
What is the difference between Showcase Classes and Performance Classes?
TNPA Showcase Classes focus on building upon the core concepts of acting, singing, dictation, and other confidence-building skills that prepare students for the ultimate goal of taking a Performance Class. Performance Classes are associated with an upcoming TNPA stage show and can only be entered by audition. Generally, there are six full productions each calendar year that provide students with the opportunity to experience a more intensive schedule of rehearsals and performances culminating in a full-scale stage show.
Are classes different every session?
Yes! In fact, many TNPA students will take their age-appropriate classes throughout the year, taking multiple season classes to build off of skills they have already acquired and to work towards the goal of auditioning for upcoming shows and performances.
How can my child audition for a show?
Auditioning for an upcoming TNPA production is considered part of our Performance Classes. Generally, there are four to six full-scale TNPA stage productions each year at TNP. If a child auditions and is cast for a show, they are required to commit to the rehearsal, performance schedule, and fees associated with a particular show.
See our Upcoming Auditions page for opportunities to take the spotlight!
What do classes cost?
Fees vary based on class length, type, and whether they are online or on-site. Generally speaking, a 6-8 week class can vary between $300-$750 per session. Need-based scholarships are always available through The Joan and Brooks Fortune Foundation.
