Our mission is to nurture, support and promote live theatre in Greater Orange County. It is our hope that by supporting independent artists in their time of need, we will nurture the community as a whole.This is where you come in. If you are able, we encourage you to donate to the artists in need by visiting our OCTG Theatre Artists Relief Fund.
If you are an artist that needs financial support as a result of COVID-19, you’ll find an application link on this page as well. (Post taken from OC Theatre Guild)

Taken from the press release:
“WE’RE GONNA DIE” features a single Singer, accompanied by a full rock bad, as she shares
stories about death, grief and loneliness from her life. These stories range from the mundane to
the tragic, from discovering her first white hair to her father’s sudden and tragic death from
lung cancer as he waited for an experimental treatment. Lee’s songs and stories demystify grief,
creating a community space that provides the solace that we need to get through those
difficult moments.
THEATRE PALISADES presents: Steel Magnolias playing @ PIERSON PLAYHOUSE January 10 – February 16, 2020
How do you solve a problem like that child Shelby?! You don’t. A tender, funny, sad, funny play about the family tug of war between mother (M’lynn) and daughter (Shelby). And their friends who all come to the same beauty parlor where life and its issues get discussed and dissected in a very Southern and ladylike way. A perennial favorite of the American stage! Taken from the website.
