The NoDa School of Arts is a non-profit based in Charlotte, NC which provides high quality performance and fine art training to urban youth who otherwise would not have access to the arts. They serve the community with several different programs throughout the year. During the school year, The NoDa School of Arts offers after-school programing at the local schools and community centers. In the past there have been classes in musical theater, African dance, mixed media, voice and fine arts.
During the summer The NoDa School of Arts provides a six week summer camp, where children ages 7-18 learn the ins and the outs of musical theater. They get hands on direction in costuming, lighting, stage management, stage design and construction, blocking, choreography, music and voice.
In the past the NoDa School of Arts has done School House Rock Junior, Aladdin Junior, and Annie Junior.
This summer they will be performing Willy Wonka Junior. 
The cast consists of 32 children. Some have been with The NoDa School of Arts since it first opened in 2005 and for others, this will be their first time performing. Performances will be held August 8th & 9th at Piedmont Middle School. For further information and ticket sales go to www.NoDaSchoolofArts.org or call the Box Office at 704-277-1843.
Fall 2008 The NoDa School of Arts will be implementing a new program to help further the youth in their learning and understanding of the arts.
