About Us

New Artists Productions, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the introduction of new young performance artists to the fields of the performing arts. The existence of this corporation is founded on the premise that ‘there abounds considerable young talent needing an opportunity to be recognized.’ Our goals have always been to teach youth through all aspects of theater – acting, make-up, stagecraft, directing, producing, stage lighting and sound, scenery design, and set construction. New Artists Productions, Inc. seeks to be the helping hand up by providing recording services, stage opportunities, and financial assistance to worthy young artists.

In 1995 Dan and Anita Almich formed New Artists Productions, Inc. with the intent of providing opportunities for youth through the performance arts. They funded the activities personally at no expense to the participants. When the drama program at Bandon High School was eliminated from the curriculum, the Almichs decided to expand their organization’s offerings by absorbing the drama program and continuing the offering to the youth of the community. The organization’s history of providing performance outlets to youth in the community became the foundation for the establishment of the community youth theater program.

In October 2002 New Artists Productions, Inc. obtained its 501 (c)(3) status and began formulating a plan with 6 high school students to produce Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. New Artists Productions, Inc. continues to produce music recitals, variety shows, dramatic plays, musical plays, and organized summer camps – again, all at no expense to the student participants. Our program is supported through private donation, ticket sales, and grant funding.
