Off Square Theatre (OST), established in 1998, is a professional theatre company offering programming year-round, including theatre arts education and a professional season.
Here at Off Square Theatre, we are dedicated to excellence in theatre through performances by theatre professionals and local artists; artistic exchanges for local and nationally known theatre artists; and educational programming for all ages. From 1998 to 2006, OST performed at the Pink Garter Mainstage Theatre off of Town Square. OST moved its headquarters to the Center for the Arts in 2006 and began operating the intimate 100-seat Black Box Theater year-round. OST also produces in the Center Theater. In 2013, OST launched Thin Air Shakespeare in the Center Amphitheater. This outdoor, family-friendly, and free professional Shakespeare production has become a beloved summer favorite of locals and visitors alike.
Off Square Theatre is in the midst of a 5-year strategic plan, shaping our future for the next 25 years. You can learn more about where we are headed at the link below.
