Not only has she been a part of the Magic Beanstalk Player program for several years, she also has participated in dramaworks community theatre productions. Jamison exudes confidence in her abilities and is an excellent role model to the younger students. She always has a positive attitude and is very deserving of this award!”

The Magic Beanstalk Player program is back to doing in-person rehearsals to bring this show to life once more. The production will be held at the West End Theatre on May 19-22, 2022.
The Elliott Johnson Smart Scholarship was created by Elliott’s family and contributed to by many loving friends, family and community members. In the spirit of Elliott’s memory and his love of theatre, the Scholarship is awarded to one student each year who has demonstrated exemplary performance, enthusiasm and dedication to the The Magic Beanstalk Player youth drama program.
