About Us!

Corrie Beauvineau founded The Magnolia Children's Theater in response to a demand for high quality, local Children's Theater in the Nederland/Boulder Area. She believes drama and play are powerful vehicles for children to express themselves and have fun while learning about complex themes in literature and human nature. 

Corrie is a National Board Certified Teacher with over 20 years of experience. She has taught students K-12 in Colorado, Nepal and France. She holds a Master Degree in Curriculum Design and Educational Psychology from the University of Colorado and is certified as an elementary educator, school librarian and media specialist.  She has directed and co-directed many productions both in the classroom setting and as summer camp productions. Many of her prior students speak of these experiences as some of the most memorable highlights of their childhood years.
