Theatre Arts
The Odyssey Theatre at OLMC is a fully functional and operational theatre run by students. Every season the theatre hosts several speaking events as well as a full theater season including a talent show, a fall drama, a winter comedy and a spring play.
Peter Pan
The Darling children love to hear of Peter Pan’s adventures during his visits through the open window of the nursery. Then one night after Nana has taken his shadow and Wendy has sewn it back on, Peter Pan and Tinker Bell whisk the children off to Neverland to be part of the adventures. Wendy, John, and Michael become friends with the Lost Boys and Princess Tiger Lily, and Wendy becomes everyone’s mother. When the evil Captain Hook captures Wendy and the Lost Boys, Peter Pan comes to their rescue. Together with the ticking crocodile, Peter Pan puts Captain Hook in his place and returns the Darling children to their home.
"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!"
Happiness is great musical theater! With charm, wit, and heart, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and his friends in the Peanuts gang. This revue of songs and vignettes, based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, was the first musical in the Odyssey Theater and once again makes history as our first revival! Musical numbers include "My Blanket and Me," "The Kite," "The Baseball Game," "Little Known Facts," "Suppertime," and "Happiness." Guaranteed to please audiences of all ages!
The Tempest
Prospero, a magician and the former duke of Milan, guides the audience through this shortened version of Shakespeare’s mystical classic. After a shipwreck, Prospero and his daughter Miranda survive to be isolated on an island inhabited by the monster Caliban and the spirit Ariel. Soon, by magic, there’s a second shipwreck which delivers to the isle a few of Prospero’s evil adversaries and the King’s son, Ferdinand. Miranda falls in love with Ferdinand. Prospero learns to forgive the others. Charity and wisdom triumph over greed as the interlopers return to Milan. All that and much more will be traveling on campus and off, as part of our traveling Shakespeare show!
The Wonderful World of Oz
A cyclone carries Dorothy and her dog, Toto, to the magical land of Oz, where they encounter all the famous characters from the pen of L. Frank Baum... the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodsman, the rubber-legged Scarecrow, Glinda the Good Witch, and the evil Witch of the West, who is determined to destroy Dorothy and steal the secret of the ruby slippers.
"Sing in me O heavenly muse, and through me, tell the story..."
