PROJECT PROPOSALS
OTP’s Project Proposals provides a platform for individuals, artists & OTP community members, like you, who have a great idea for our next series and want to start to explore its potential with OTP. We will be accepting any proposal that can be produced through a theatrical lens and aligns with our mission and community.
We ask that each proposal be submitted with a champion(s) behind it. This person will ‘champion’ the success of the project as it proceeds through our development process. They will turn the strategy of this proposal into action on our stage with OTP’s Board and Staff. The proposal itself covers every pillar of a successful project at OTP and we provide a collaborative application process to make sure the idea is given it’s best chance.
While we can’t move forward with every proposal, we do look forward to finding ways to work with those who shares their art with us and there will be many opportunities created from the ideas we move forward with.

OUR SELECTION PROCESS
OTP’s Board of Directors will be accepting these proposals through 2018. The OTP Board will begin to set up a series of follow up events based on interest. These follow up events may include a meeting with the Project Champions, a reading of the script / score, or other elements that help us get a complete look at the scope of work. Once we have properly vetted the proposal itself and completed any follow up events, the OTP Board will meet to discuss and vote on the projects inclusion in Series 5.
