Theater O states that its motto is “Listen. Learn. Imagine. Perform.” and that at the heart of all it does is listening to students, teachers, peers, and themselves on stage and off. The program states that it believes young people are artists and that theater teaches collaboration, builds self-confidence, engages children physically and mentally, allows their stories to come alive, builds friendships and memories, and teaches listening to each other, instincts, bodies, and selves. Theater O states that it offers beginner through advanced classes to develop fundamental theater skills while maintaining a sense of fun and play, and that its curricula are designed to give children a theatrical toolbox, with each class stressing a skillset that enhances skills needed in other classes and in life. Theater O describes its faculty as a team of theater professionals who are experts in their craft and experienced educators.
The leadership team includes Artistic Director Jessica Irons, who also teaches Acting, Design, Directing, and Fairytale Theater; General Manager Kate Nolan; Associate Director and Resident Designer Andrew Irons, who teaches Playwriting, Puppetry, and Improv; Associate Director and Musical Theater and Show Camp instructor Aya Abdallah; Performing Stories faculty members Kathryn Alexander, Jessica Carmen Courtney (also a Fairy Tale Theater instructor), and Stephanie Granade; High School Theater Experience Acting faculty member Jonny Kaplan; Performing Stories, High School Theater Experience Improv, and Middle School Improv faculty member Allison Mitchell; and Musical Theater accompanist Rachel Murphy. One parent, Heather Schnieder, states that her family has “nothing but positive things to say about Theater O and the experiences they have provided” for her daughter and that her daughter feels she truly belongs there.
