CAPA Columbus - About CAPA

Home >> CAPA Columbus >> About CAPA >> Education

In September 2006, CAPA proudly adopted Highland Elementary in the Hilltop area of Columbus and in September 2007 added Walnut Ridge High School to our program. All of the students at Highland and Walnut Ridge are eligible to attend performances at CAPA venues, see performances and workshops in their school and use study guides provided by CAPA to better their understanding of the arts. CAPA provides all tickets, transportation, study materials and in-school sessions to the school. Hundreds of kids have been involved at all grade levels. Shows have included: A Christmas Carol, Crowns, Big Apple Circus, The Secret Garden, La Boheme, Tango Fire, and Cinderella. Workshops have included: Second City, a Phoenix Theatre for Children workshop, Harlem Gospel Choir, TS Monk, and Edgar Meyer.

High 5 Columbus, launched in February 1998, is a discount ticket program for the arts for students ages 13-18, designed to make arts performances and visual art exhibits accessible and affordable. Columbus' top arts organizations provide $5 tickets to hundreds of events every season. CAPA successfully negotiated with High 5 New York to become the first licensed site for this unique ticketing program and administers the program on behalf of High 5 participants, which include: BalletMet, CAPA, CATCO, Chamber Music Columbus, Columbus Children's Theatre, Columbus Jazz Orchestra, Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, Gallery Players, King Arts Complex, OperaColumbus, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, Six String Concerts, Thurber House, Wexner Center for the Arts, and Women at Play.
