A staple in Scott County for many years, the Plateau Players have proudly stood as a vital part of enriching our community.

By presenting engaging theatrical performances, we not only aim to deliver high-quality entertainment but also foster a creative outlet that nurtures the artistic spirit within our community.

Through this hands-on connection to Appalachian heritage, JAM fosters pride, creativity, and community, keeping our musical roots alive and thriving for years to come.
In our Kids Corner program, we believe children have the power to change the world, and that the arts can help them discover just how. By engaging in creative expression, young people build confidence, develop their unique voice, and learn to see the world with curiosity and compassion.

No matter their background or skill level, every child is encouraged to create, imagine, and grow in a community that celebrates creativity and the limitless potential of young minds.
