Plano families and arts supporters have a chance to see the future home of North Texas Performing Arts (NTPA) before the doors officially open. The organization will hold an open house on Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. at its new headquarters located at 2819 W. 15th St., giving the community a first‑hand look at the developing performance spaces.
What visitors can expect
During the evening, guests will be able to walk through the partially built facility, where walls are already up and the layout of the four planned stages, six rehearsal studios, a set‑building shop and private rooms is taking shape. NTPA staff will explain the design choices, construction timeline and how each space will support both professional productions and educational programming for local schools and youth groups.
Reception and program
The event will begin with a casual reception featuring drinks and snacks at 6 p.m., followed by a brief overview of the project at 6:30 p.m. Representatives will field questions, gather community feedback and discuss ways residents can get involved.
Volunteer and donation opportunities
As the organization prepares for the move, NTPA is actively seeking volunteers, professional expertise, donated materials and in‑kind services to help offset planning, construction and relocation costs. Those with construction, architectural, engineering or artistic backgrounds are especially encouraged to reach out.
How to attend
Interested community members should reserve a spot in advance to ensure adequate space for the reception and tour. Reservations can be made through the NTPA website or by contacting the organization directly.
Why this matters for Plano
The new headquarters will become a cultural anchor for the city, providing a venue for performances, workshops and youth education that aligns with Plano’s commitment to strong families and vibrant community life. By inviting residents to the open house, NTPA underscores its dedication to transparency and partnership with local families, churches and civic groups.
North Texas Performing Arts has been a fixture in the region for decades, and the move from its longtime home at The Shops at Willow Bend signals a major investment in the city’s arts infrastructure. The upcoming open house offers a tangible glimpse of that future and an invitation for Plano’s citizens to help shape it.
