Who We Are

Owl Tree Theater for the People is a new theater company, just getting started. Our philosophy is simple...high quality & mind-blowing theater that will be cheaper than going out to a movie! That's how we roll - theater for the people style.
We hope that by being a crossroads of originality, talent, spunk & stick-to-it-ness, we will be a force to be reckoned with... but we promise to use our powers for good - bringing together folks from your community who have a passion and talent for stagecraft, and bringing you very affordable and highly enjoyable drama.
We are PEOPLE POWERED... which means all that we do is brought to you by effort, sweat, and commitment. Where you factor into people power is by lending a hand to our endeavor. Come to our shows... laugh, ponder, cry and feel energized by live drama!

We’re not just looking for conventional ghost stories...but also plays about “the ghosts” that we carry around in our day-to-day lives.
Plays we like to produce have characters in the midst of dynamic choice-making & transformation. We like stories that provoke audiences in re-evaluating themselves & their world.
What we are looking for:
Two full length originals with the following criteria:
