Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Education, Performing Arts Schools, Theater
Mission: BEAT is a local non-profit youth theater program. Our mission is to empower youth by fostering creativity, collaboration and self-confidence, and to enrich the quality of life and culture of our community, through Theater Arts.
Results: BEAT, now in it's 10th Season here in Central Oregon, works with young people by providing mainstage productions, Black Box productions, classes, workshops and BEAT the Heat summer camps. Through our programs young people learn not only the exciting elements of theater arts, but also important life lessons such as teamwork, self-confidence, community involvement, creativity and the rewards of hard work. 200-300 students participate in a BEAT program every year. We also focus on Community Outreach, working to bring the experience of live theater to students all over Central and Eastern Oregon with programs such as our Cultural Student Performances (CSPs) - daytime performances given at a discount to school districts and other educational groups. Around 4,000 Central and Eastern Oregon students arrive on buses to see a BEAT Cultural Student Performance every school year. At BEAT we strongly believe in every child's right to grown and learn to take risks in a safe, supporting and nurturing environment - all while having as much fun as possible!
