FAQs

What’s the time commitment?

Putting on a production is a lot of hard work. As an actor you can expect to have rehearsals at least twice a week for three months before the performance. There are typically 8 performances per production. For those involved in costuming and technical aspects, hours can vary based on the complexity of the show, but you can also choose to volunteer for as many hours as you choose. Ushers only need to be present at performance times.

I don’t want to act, are there other ways to get involved?

Yes! You can get involved in our program as stage crew or helping with props and costumes, lights and sound, publicity, house crew, and more.

What if I’ve never acted before?

No worries! What we care most about is fostering relationships and working together as community members in a supportive environment. We encourage you to give it a try! We can’t always guarantee you land a role in every show, but there are always ways to get involved, like helping with stage crew, lighting, set building, costuming, prop making, advertising or ushering for a show.

Reviews

“I’ve seen dozens of shows in theatres across the country and, in my opinion, the West End Theatre delivers the quality of big city productions to our small town home. We don’t realize how lucky we are to have this theatre!”

“The West End Theatre is one of many wonderful things about living in Plumas County. We always buy season tickets and love going out for a night on the town to see the impressive productions.”

”All the world’s a stage and all the youngsters at Magic Beanstalk Players learn exactly what that means. We are proud to have been supporting them for years. Please help pull on that rope.”
