Founder & Owner
Trinity Evans
Trinity Evans is the proud owner of Born to Perform Performing Arts Studio LLC, a lifelong dream turned reality. As a single mom to a wonderful 2-year-old, she knows the importance of creating spaces where children can thrive. With a degree in Musical Theater and years of experience as a CPI-trained Exceptional Teacher Assistant in Guilford County, Trinity is passionate about building an inclusive and empowering environment where all children—both with and without disabilities—can shine on stage. Having been involved in theater since the age of 7, she understands the power of the arts to inspire confidence and self-expression. Through BTP, she hopes to encourage every child to step out of their comfort zone, embrace their uniqueness, and find their voice—judgment-free. Trinity is beyond excited to bring her two greatest passions together and build a new family of performers!
