We’re excited to share some incredible partnerships and events that embody the true spirit of transformation and second chances, two themes that are highlighted by the first play of the season: CLYDE’S.
By partnering with RISE, Fermented Felon Kombucha, and Anastasis Theatre Co. for the duration of the run, OCP hopes to facilitate a collaborative space for art and rehabilitation, breaking down barriers, and the celebration of resilience!
