Our mission is to enrich the cultural life of Nevada County by providing high quality, affordable and accessible performances for everyone. Over the past 11 years, we have presented 39 productions of plays and musicals utilizing local talent onstage and behind the scenes at our community’s leading performing arts venues, including the Nevada Theatre, Off Center Stage, and Miners Foundry Cultural Center. In addition, we have offered a series of over 45 informal play readings, collaborated with a number of local nonprofit organizations for fundraising events, and produced two musicals for local elementary schools: Stone Soup and The Quiltmaker's Gift.
