About
Dramatic Fanatics features activities such as Dramatic Fanatics Puppet Adventures, tongue twisters with puppets, interactive stories where children provide sound effects with their puppets, puppet improv scenes, and a Puppet Talk Show. The program also includes improvised skits, echo songs, chase scenes, audience-driven storytelling, and a featured presentation of “The Tale of the Wide-Mouthed Frog.” Every child is given a pair of peepers (simple finger puppets) to keep and selects a puppet from a wide selection to use during all hands-on lessons and activities, and the program also offers weekly improv classes and an Amelia Bedelia live performance.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Amelia Bedelia performances typically last between 45 minutes to an hour.
Dramatic Fanatics was founded in 2004 by Amy Beaucham, who serves as Founder and Director. The stated mission is that Dramatic Fanatics courses and camps ensure each actor an equal time in the spotlight and the skills to develop character in both themselves and their art. The program is described as “Where every star can shine,” and notes that certified drama instructor Amy Beaucham will give each child the “star treatment,” with courses and camps that ensure each actor an equal time in the spotlight. Programs are described as fully engaging experiences where every child gets to perform, create, and play, with each puppet adventure described as both educational and entertaining, and formats that are flexible for small groups, larger audiences, or summer reading events.
Amy Beaucham holds a degree in Theatre from Georgia Southern University, where she earned the annual “Best Actress” award, and a master’s in Special Education from West Georgia University, with certification in Gifted Education. She has 35 years in public education in Georgia and was honored as Teacher of the Year by Treutlen County. Her work includes founding The Southside Sidekicks improv troupe and initiating youth programs at Southside Theatre Guild, including The Associates and The Southside Rascals. Dramatic Fanatics notes that Amy combines her love for theatre and education to offer an empowering and engaging program for youth, with recent expansions to include adults, and that the program is expanding to Indiana where she offers workshops and classes for both youth and adults.
Dramatic Fanatics brings live puppet shows to libraries, and Amy has performed throughout Georgia, including as Amelia Bedelia for library audiences and as a historical character interpreter for The Northeast Georgia History Center. Testimonials describe Dramatic Fanatics as a wonderful opportunity for anyone with a flair for drama and acting, with comments highlighting “fabulous energy with a kind spirit,” “creative, engaging, artistic, fun” experiences, and “great voice work and stage presence training,” and they note that final shows have been described as fabulous. Parents and participants report that children look forward to Dramatic Fanatics as the highlight of their week, describe “lots of fun and learning,” and share that involvement in Dramatic Fanatics helped them feel more comfortable, confident, and less shy.
