My Nonprofit Reviews

DYPAC (DownRiver Youth Performing Arts Center) is an all volunteer Youth Theater Group located in the Trenton Theater in Trenton, Michigan. Created by Dr. Noel Jackson and his wife Deborah as a safe place for children to participate in plays and musicals.

DYPAC has multiple opportunities for children to learn and enjoy theater; weekend workshops where young children and teens can learn theater skills, several auditioned shows a year, a 5 week summer camp and an annual Christmas Show that welcomes all the children who want to perform.

DYPAC has an all volunteer Board and encourages parent involvement and volunteering. All funds raised go back into programing. Families are not turned away because they can't pay, as scholarships are available for summer camp and show fees.

Children who feel different feel welcome at DYPAC. Children who feel left out feel included at DYPC. Children who are bullied feel safe at DYPAC.

DYPAC's motto is "Be the Star by the Person you are". DYPAC grows wonderful young adults who become instructors, assistants and show directors. Many have gone off to college and successful careers. They return to share the joy of DYPAC with their children.

Come see a show at the Trenton Theater and share the joy of DYPAC.
