Our Productions Include…
Weekly Rehearsals
At OTSCT, students engage in weekly rehearsals designed to cultivate ensemble-based collaboration and individual growth. Within these rehearsals, young performers explore a wide range of acting techniques in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment. Our teaching and directing approach is rooted in the understanding that every student is unique; we meet each child where they are, nurturing their personal journey in the arts.
We believe that when instruction is led with love, patience, and acceptance, it creates a safe and inspiring space for students to thrive. This foundation empowers young artists to step onto the stage with confidence, courage, and a boundless sense of creativity.
Professional Performances
Our students are given a true theatrical experience as they take the stage at the beautiful Eagle Theatre in Sugar Hill. Throughout the process, they have the unique opportunity to work alongside a talented team of designers, choreographers, teaching artists, and industry professionals. This collaborative environment not only elevates the quality of each production but also enriches the learning journey, allowing young performers to experience the magic of professional theatre from the inside out.
Theatre Education
At OTSCT, theatre education is more than just learning lines and blocking—it's about cultivating the whole artist. Our curriculum is rooted in ensemble-based learning, where students rehearse weekly in a supportive, process-driven environment that emphasizes collaboration, discipline, and growth. We incorporate foundational acting techniques and performance skills that provide students with both practical tools and personal confidence. Understanding that each child brings their own strengths and challenges, we tailor our instruction to meet students where they are. We believe that when theatre education is led with love, acceptance, and high expectations, it ignites courage, creativity, and a lasting passion for the arts.

Peter and the Starcatcher - 8th - 12th grade

This is an advanced level production.

A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.
