Everything that OTP has been and will be starts with our communty and the OTP Core turns those ideas into reality. Whether it be coordinating our next production, gathering our community together for a Town Hall, or welcoming more through our open doors, this group makes it happen.  

New work is a tent poll of our mission and has kept us closely connected with our community since day one. Our Plays in Progress series focuses on new and local stories being given a chance to find their light.  

EVERYONE IS DYING AND SO AM I is a starry-eyed celebration of living out loud in the face of certain death.

Dance with him through broken relationships and discovered identity—from challenge, through creation, to catharsis!
