Earl Thompson and Edie O’Connor’s vision to elevate community theatre in Quincy began in 2000 with the founding of dramaworks, a non-profit organization. Dramaworks promotes the enjoyment of theatre arts, facilitates children’s and community theatre programs, and offers an educational path to reduce societal barriers and improve the lives of rural families and children.

Once dramaworks was off the ground, Earl and Edie began to renovate the historic building in downtown Quincy. The West End Theatre opened its doors to the community in 2012. Our traditional black box theatre offers an intimate space and cutting-edge design for first-rate performances.

It takes the passion and dedication of many to ensure community theatre thrives. To find out more and stay up-to-date on all our events click here to signup for our newsletter.
