Open Theatre Project builds community through bold, inclusive storytelling. Every donation helps us create spaces where voices are heard, stories are shared, and connection becomes action.
Why We Create
At Open Theatre Project, we believe theatre isn’t just entertainment — it’s an act of empathy. Our work invites neighbors, artists, and audiences to come together in shared spaces to witness stories that challenge, heal, and unite.
​
From original plays like Weighting the Wait and An Education in Prudence, to community-driven programs like Community Write and Open Voice, OTP gives artists and audiences alike a voice in shaping the world they live in.
​
When you give to OTP, you make this kind of storytelling possible — stories that lift up the unheard, confront injustice, and remind us what it means to be seen.
