In August 2024, The Youth Branch Presented:
Alice in Wonderland, A Musical... 

During the final performance of Alice in Wonderland, A Musical, the power went out in town and at the Ojai Art Center Theatre!!

During intermission, the students gathered benches and moved lawn chairs for the audience to sit in the shade. They gathered the props and performed Act 2 outside on the OAC patio.
​
They were and are real pros! The show went on and we say, “Congrats" to each and every one!!

​OACT Youth Branch presents
​“Frozen, Kids”

Picture
Over the summer, 12 young actors joined Director Gai Jones, Kayleigh Turner, Vocal Director, and Sophie Massey, Choreographer who coached the kids in song and dance virtually.

The kids and crew worked really hard with everyone learning many new skills. We can not sell tickets for the final performance but we can accept donations to our program.

Please consider donating, even a small gift is helpful in covering production costs, such as costumes, props, royalties, staffing, etc.
