Igniting Passion
for the Arts
New Artists Productions, Inc. is dedicated to introducing and nurturing young performance artists in all fields of the Performing Arts. We provide stage opportunities at no cost to students, grades 1 – 12.
In 1995, Dan and Anita Almich founded New Artists Productions, Inc. to provide opportunities for youth through the performance arts. They funded the activities personally, passing on no expense to the participants. At that time, the program produced musical recordings for students who auditioned for school and state competitions, and CDs for local youth bands.
When the drama program at Bandon High School was eliminated from the curriculum, the Almichs decided to continue offering this extracurricular activity and expand upon it for the youth of our community.
Six actors participated in that first production and formed the foundation for the program. New students join us each year.
We are a year-round program, offering participation in at least two major productions during the year and educational activities within the community and state to meet with industry professionals.
New Artists Productions, Inc. presents casts of many talented young people to audiences throughout the year -- young people who have a desire and dedication to the Performance Arts.
We are very fortunate to have so many who will share their experiences with other generations, thus keeping The Arts alive within local communities for others to enjoy for years to come.
