This awards ceremony will honor students in grades K-9 that participated in a production with NTPA – Dallas during the 2025 calendar year.
Come be part of this fun celebration and help us raise money for NTPA – Dallas!

Our annual AMP Awards will honor excellence in performance and leadership on and off the stage! Every actor in grades K-9 that participated in a 2025 production with NTPA Dallas is nominated for an award. The finalists will be recognized and award winners in each age category announced!
Before the program begins our actors will walk the red carpet, where they will be sure to capture memorable photos with friends and directors. Delicious light bites will be passed (cash bar available for 21+) and families will have a chance to mingle before the event begins. Actors and parents will then enjoy an awards ceremony highlighting all of our Dallas actors and performances from 2025! After our actors have been properly celebrated, we will kick off the after party where students and parents alike can dance the night away!
Don’t miss our special “Game of Chance” for the opportunity of 3 winners of either Free Gallery Wall Photo or Star OR 2 winners to Karaoke on-stage with a director and their friends.
All money raised by the AMP Awards supports the Capital Campaigns for NTPA – Dallas and North Texas Performing Arts. Your attendance will not only help us celebrate our family of actors, but will allow us to continue growing our program in 2026 and the years to come!
