Dreamland Theater opened in 2002 as an experimental performance/arts space and the home of the Dreamland Puppet Troupe. Dreamland operated as an LLC until 2009, when it obtained 501(c)3 non-profit status in order to better achieve its goals as a community arts organization. During its lifetime Dreamland Theater has hosted hundreds of arts events, functioning as a space where local artists can present contemporary creative works in a variety of mediums, including live performance, art exhibitions, variety shows, live music, film festivals and classes.

The Dreamland Theater’s mission is to facilitate creative expression and to serve as a resource for community enrichment by offering performances, exhibitions and classes for local residents and community organizations. Through innovative programs Dreamland Theater aims to:

• Present a diverse range of original and traditional puppet shows featuring a variety of types of puppetry with roots from around the world.
• Provide a venue for a variety of types of artistic expression including but not limited to plays, music, independent film and art exhibition.
• Provide classes in puppetry and other art forms to give children and other community members the opportunity to create and share ideas.
