Calling all actors, writers, and directors!

OMTA & OSTA's Spring 24-Hour Theater Festival is happening in just a few weeks on Friday, May 27th to Saturday, May 28th (9pm to 9pm).

In this energy-filled weekend, writers will spend the first 12 hours writing an original play or musical, and in the next 12 hours, directors & actors will produce the show. This will culminate in all of the shows being performed back-to-back for anyone to see!

Check out our website linked below for festival applications & more information (including new changes to the festival!).

We hope to see you on the 27th & 28th!
