Youth Program

Youth Theatre - Next Gen

Our NextGen Youth Theatre program is exactly what the name implies. The participants in our NextGen are the next generation to run theaters everywhere! We are helping to shape the future with an inclusive family environment where youth are empowered to hone the skills they are interested in pursuing, using a compassionate educational environment.


Our NextGen’ers can immerse themselves in all aspects of production with enthusiasm and fun through summer camps, youth productions, and shadowing mentors on mainstage and Black Box productions. OCT’s Next Gen’s mission is to give our surrounding community open opportunities to immerse themselves into the world of theatre. Whether it’s tech, directing, stage management, costuming, acting, or front of house, we want this to be an inclusive, fun and educational space for lovers of theatre and others who want to support the arts.
