We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Ojai Fall Residency program this November. The Residency is an exciting new partnership between OPC and Los Angeles theater companies; part of our commitment to help feed the CA theatrical ecosystem with new work, and create opportunities for some of the most inspiring theatrical story-tellers in America. OPC is dedicated to helping more new plays move from page to stage.

Following this Residency in Ojai, our partner theater companies will continue their support of these writers with a reading in Los Angeles over the course of the next year.

We couldn’t be more excited to offer dramaturgical support, a nurturing space and deep creative engagement with these amazing playwrights in partnership with the LA theater community. Stay tuned for more of our year-round programs, as we continue to build bridges between the creative sanctuary of Ojai and the theater community in Southern California!
