CONTINUE! You're doing everything right! You're a community treasure, in a great location with always thought- provoking productions and the magic of theatre is realized within your walls!
I love the Page to Stage readings! It's such a great way to explore plays, to engage in discourse about art and to see ordinary folks who wouldn't normally perform reading parts. Very fun!
I'm grateful to OCP for presenting plays that are super engaging and spark conversations about life, people and our present world.
I very much enjoyed Gertrude Stein and A Companion. The relationship between Gertrude and Alice was unexpectedly endearing and historically informative. I could feel their intimacy, which was lovely to see and I think the small theater really lent itself to that.
Unique productions, always excellent performers, intimate community theatre appropriately temperature controlled. Not a bad seat in the house.
Gertrude Stein and a Companion was my favorite, even though it was a replacement for Two Wrongs. It was so well performed and historically interesting.
Timely Twain” was dynamite but Gertrude Stein was also great, especially since the same two actors were reperforming the parts, and so well. Waiting for Godot was fabulous, too. We saw Godot twice. I'd be so happy to see all three once again!
The quality of the productions is top-notch and we love the intimacy of the small theater. Choice of productions is excellent. Ever since the first performance we attended, Jacque Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, we have enjoyed nearly everything. The ease with which we can change our performance dates is perfection.

Borderlands
By Eric Samuelsen
Directed by Jim Carroll
With Jameson Cook, Melanie Lowey, Vicki Robin and Billy Tierney.
Borderlands marks a place of intersection, a liminal space where roads end but new paths begin, where new horizons reveal themselves but also where collisions do harm.
Borderlands is a play about coming out, about cars and salesmanship, about death and God and sexual desire. And a space, perhaps in a minivan, where these characters dare to tell themselves the truth, and are appalled to find how little it sets them free.
