Teens

OCT and Acting Academy offer a variety of opportunities for teens: on stage, behind the scenes, and in the audience.

  • Classes: Look for the diamond on the class schedule to find Acting Academy classes for older students.
  • 

Internships & Opportunities: Students in our Young Professionals (YP) program have unique opportunities to perform and work behind the scenes as apprentices in lighting, costume design, and more! Learn more the Young Professionals at www.octc.org.
  • YPs on Stage: The Young Professionals Present shows are perfect for teen audiences, and affordable too! This season’s line up includes: Gatherings in Graveyards; A WWII Radio Christmas; and Impulse! On the main stages, teens will enjoy Locomotion and The Storm in the Barn.
  • Winningstad Combo: A new season subscription option for families with teens and almost-teens.

This season we are offering a 2-play mini subscription package for ages 10 and up—the Winningstad Combo. Locomotion and The Storm in the Barn represent the best of what OCT has to offer older audiences.

Locomotion is a beautiful story about the power of poetry to heal. A Kennedy Center play based on the award-winning novel Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson, its spoken-word dialogue is both poignant and humorous.

The Storm in the Barn is a world premiere collaboration based on the award-winning graphic novel The Storm in the Barn by Matt Phelan. OCT is working with local band Black Prairie to bring this thrilling dust-bowl-era tale to life.
