To be part of any REP production you must first be enrolled in the 3-unit class OCC Theatre Repertory (THEA A131, A132, A133 or A134), or enrolled in Directing (THEA A275 or A285).
For over 40 years OCC Theatre has given our students a theatre space and a class dedicated to the creation and production of student works: The Rep! REP students act, direct, write, design, stage manage, do technical work, publicity and any other of the many tasks required to stage a full season of Rep plays every year. Enrolled students audition for acting roles, all other Rep jobs are voluntary.
OCC Rep meets Mondays 5:00pm to 6:50pm plus many arranged hours. Acting rehearsals are typically Tue- Thur 5:00- 6:50.
Rep will produce three productions in Fall 2027 and three in Spring 2027 - enroll to be a Rep Member!
