First Stage Theatre Academy gets a new format and a new director!

This year's students participating in the two week theatre academy will dive into the world of theatre with a new challenge: two weeks to write, build and create their own original production.

This year's camp will be lead by Matthew Pyle who has been seen on the OCP stage in Becky's New Car, A Streetcar Named Desire and A Night with the Family. He has done fight choreography for many OCP shows as well as the Circle Theatre, and is directing the opening play reading for the OCP 21 & Over series, Exit Pursued by a Bear. Lana Brown-Rogal and Kay Johnson will round out the teaching team for choreography and music.

Are you up to the challenge? To register, contact Denise Chapman, director of education, by email or by phone (402) 553-4890, ext. 131. More information is available here.
