how many people were involved that cared.”
Maddie has been performing at TPAC since she was five, and is now

can no longer. Her goals are to continue
inspiring people to express themselves.

day I can remember the backstage of CATS, and the art projects we
did. If anything it planted a seed in my mind.”
Dylan eventually tried theater his junior year in high school, where
he started performing, and became a part of an improv troupe
dedicated to teaching elementary students how to be creative and
have fun through theater games.

presentation, and development

cultural and educational needs
of our community.”

Who is an Ambassador
An Ambassador is someone who aligns themselves with the same beliefs and mission
that TPAC holds. We’re a nonprofit organization who is trying to bring business,
culture and the quality of life to Topeka.

An Ambassador is someone who cares about youth education and outreach. Children
are in need of help right here in Topeka.

As an Ambassador, you will help spread awareness through our Discover TPAC
events. We want people just like you at our future events, and you can help invite
them! As an ambassador, you will have the ability to help with future outreach
events. Ambassador opinions and time matters.

As an Ambassador, you can host a Discover TPAC event at your house, or somewhere
of your choosing. Again, your opinion matters, and if you think it would be
beneficial to hold one yourself, then do it.

A TPAC Ambassador is YOU. If you have people in mind for future Discover events,
have either you or them email Ashely Nadeau directly at
anadeau@topekaperformingarts.org or call 785-234-2787 x104.
