About
dramaworks Youth Programs include theatrical activities where youth in grades K–8 can express themselves without judgment and take part in collaboration, creative thinking, and problem solving. The program also includes developing tech skills, creating custom art, increasing self-confidence in public speaking, and opportunities to become an actor, playwright, costume designer, or stagehand. Participants can explore the world of Broadway musicals through singing, dancing, and acting, including a Broadway Bootcamp that starts September 10.

• Schedule: Broadway Bootcamp starts September 10.
dramaworks Youth Programs are part of dramaworks, a non-profit organization founded in 2000 by Earl Thompson and Edie O’Connor. The organization’s mission is to promote the enjoyment of theatre arts, facilitate children’s and community theatre programs, and offer an educational path to reduce societal barriers and improve the lives of rural families and children. Magic Beanstalk Players provides theatrical activities for youth in grades K–8, and SWEET offers teens a place to find community, while Community Theatre involves individuals of all ages and experience levels in acting, playwriting, costume design, and stagehand roles. dramaworks offers a safe space for individuals of all ages to learn, grow, and be entertained, and its youth programming focuses on building self-confidence and developing important life skills.
The West End Theatre, where dramaworks productions take place, is a traditional black box theatre with an intimate space and cutting-edge design for first-rate performances, and it uses solar power and geothermal energy for heating and cooling. Quintopia Taproom operates in the theatre lobby before performances. Community members describe the West End Theatre as delivering the quality of big city productions to a small town and as one of the things they enjoy about living in Plumas County, and long-time supporters note that the Magic Beanstalk Players teach young participants “what it means” that all the world’s a stage.
