Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Ophelia’s Jump Productions will partner with three nonprofit organizations to produce free bespoke performances to raise awareness and/or funds in support of their missions. The three partner organizations are AgingNext which supports Seniors with resources and assistance to allow them to age at home, Shoes that Fit which identifies children in need and sources new well fitting athletic shoes for them, and Crossroads for Women that provides housing, education, support, counseling, and employment readiness in a homelike environment for women who have been incarcerated.
Organization Summary
OJP produces 4 “main stage” shows annually at our 70 seat theater in Upland and additional programming in our 50 seat studio theatre; we also present staged readings of works in development, and each July we put on the Midsummer Theatre Festival at the Sontag Greek Theatre in Claremont which is co-produced with Pomona College. We have a strong improv and “alternative performance” program and present improv, open mic, performance art, and a wide variety of music shows (such as Flamenco, Appalachian, Middle Eastern and other culturally specific music) on weekends when our main productions are dark. OJP’s Theatre for Good program partners with other nonprofit organizations to raise funds for social justice and community welfare projects by presenting free staged readings of plays coupled with informative presentations and talkbacks.
