Contact UsThe Jonathan Williams Center for the Performing Arts (JWCPA) was incorporated in December 2016, the board was organized and met in January 2017 and received our 501c3 status in February. We bring a wealth of knowledge with over 80 years combined certified experience in music education (public and private sectors). Going on our fourth year as a nonprofit 501c3 organization, we have performed over 23 showings of notable titles in the Beaumont and Houston areas. I promised my students over 16 years ago that we would have a performing arts center. It took some time to formally organize because of responsibilities in the classroom. But after retirement in June of 2016, it felt like the right time! Now I can dedicate my attention to developing an organization the Beaumont community and Southeast Texas is proud to call their own.

What a Phenomenal Performance by the Students of JWCPA in Beaumont, TX! Opening Night at the Julie Rogers Theatre was nothing short of Amazing. The music, the set, costumes, singing, acting abilities of the actors were Outstanding! Professional Artist, Singer/Actor Andre Pitre appeared in this performance as the Great Wizard of Oz and did not disappoint on Vocals.

The wiz was fantastic it was so magical and I loved it,its such an opportunity for kids to preform and bring real movies,shows to life this is incredible cant wait for next year💯
My daughter attended the JWCPA summer camp and loved it. In just 1 month so she learned so many new theater terms and had a blast being a part of the production. The show itself was amazing and well worth the time and money.
I had an absolute blast at The Wiz this weekend! From the moment the curtain opened until the final bow, the production was full of energy, life, and pure talent. The children in the cast were unbelievably gifted,their singing, dancing, and stage presence were incredible. They had the audience laughing throughout the show, and the music brought the entire performance to life.
The VIP experience was the perfect touch. The food was delicious, everything was well organized, and it made the evening feel even more special.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a show that’s entertaining, funny, family-friendly, and packed with outstanding talent, The Wiz is absolutely worth seeing. Bravo to the entire cast and crew for such an amazing performance!
