About Dream shapers

As of 12/1/23 Dream Shapers, in an effort to better serve the community and the artists, has become a Referral Arts 501c3 Arts Organization.  As such all future show inquiries and bookings will be forwarded directly to the artist for booking and to provide all documentation you may need for your show.

As the result of a new State of California Regulations along with AB5 and its amendment, and an EDD audit, we can no longer offer business services to clients and performers.  It was made very clear to us, during our audit, that we could not be an artist run non-profit corporation in California and to continue would result in taxes and fines that Dream Shapers and our board of directors would be personally responsible for.

So, we are forced to change our 35-year history and business model to become a strictly referral organization.  It makes us very sad that the State of California has moved in such a punitive direction especially for an organization like ours that has generated tens of thousands of shows for performers in Southern California and offered them a cost-effective way to generate income for themselves every year.

We are hoping that our long relationship with community organizations will continue so that you can use our website as a resource to find great performers while minimizing the advertising costs of all the individual performers.

Dream Shapers is a non-profit performing arts organization representing performers for Year Round and Summer Reading library shows, for fun and thematic preschool programs, for shows and roaming entertainment for city and community events, and for educational and entertaining elementary school assembly programs.

Our mission is to connect quality performing artists with children’s and family shows to elementary schools, libraries, preschools, cities, community organizations and families.
