Wonderful childrens theater experience! highly recommend occt for any kids whod like to get on stage. friendly, hard working & encouraging environment. wonderful, high quality productions.

A very nice place

I recently saw Hairspray and I want to offer kudos to the choreographer. I was sure with such a huge cast, dancing would be limited to the central characters and a small ensemble. Not so! All cast members were fully utilized and the dancing was GOOD. Every cast member could be proud of that production. And I cant say enough about the Telegrammers. They were adorable and sang and danced really well. Im sure a lot of rehearsals and hard work went into this production and it showed. Ive been involved in theatre for 30+ years, so when I say a show is good, you can count on it.

Founded in 1969, we are the oldest, continuous running children’s theatre in Orange County, open to young people from age 5 – 19. We are very proud of our children. Many have moved on to professional careers in the theatre, while others have become leaders in business and their communities. Through the auditions process, we welcome children from all social and economic backgrounds. While we’re dedicated to training each child in the crafts, and skills required for the theatre, paramount importance is placed on the development of each child’s self esteem, and feeling of belonging at this theatre. Family values are always encouraged, by example, from the staff of volunteers, giving so generously of their time.

Wonderful place to volunteer to help young people intrested in musical theater
