What it's all about

OPC creates opportunities for performers, artists and production professionals (welcoming all genders, races, sexual orientations and cultures) to come together to produce unique pieces of work and inspiring events. Our goal is to foster and showcase the voices and talents of our associates while sharing ideas that will make our world a better place for all. The through line is the Outlaw. We celebrate all those who refuse to conform to a rotten status quo - The Screaming Opposition - those who would push for the side of Good in the face of adversity.
Originally, we operated as a freelance production company, traveling where needed to facilitate high quality experiences. In 2020 as the world faced the Covid-19 pandemic, OPC switched focus to an online platform, working to support the artistic community as we all adapted and continued to create. 4 years later live events are back, and we’re excited to physically return to the world while retaining the valuable lessons from the ongoing pandemic. OPC stands committed to the Black Lives Matter movement and liberation for all oppressed peoples. We vow to continue to seek out, celebrate, and hire BIPOC Artists, assist in amplifying their voices in our community, and continue to educate ourselves and others on how our society got here, and how we can create a better future together. In the long term, OPC will have its own space, The Jailhouse, that will house a full main stage performance season, annual festivals, host live music and community events, and provide educational outreach. |
