Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Ophelia’s Jump Productions will be able to meet the increased costs of hiring and paying all production artists and crew as employees rather than independent contractors thus fulfilling its mission to center and raise the work of artists who need employment protections.
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.
