THEATRE

WELCOME TO OUR THEATRE PROGRAM!

​

At OCA, our theatre program is more than just acting — it's an opportunity for students to develop confidence, creativity, and communication skills while honoring God through storytelling and performance. As a Kingdom-prep school, we believe in using the arts to reflect truth, inspire others, and cultivate leadership for God's purpose. 

​

OUR MISSION

​

Our theatre program is dedicated to:

  • Encouraging students to develop their God-given creativity through acting, storytelling, and stagecraft. 

  • Instilling values of discipline, teamwork, and integrity in a collaborative environment. 

  • Providing opportunities for students to engage in uplifting, thought-provoking performances.

  • Equipping students with public speaking, leadership, and problem-solving skills that will serve them in all aspects of life. 

​

WHAT STUDENTS EXPERIENCE IN OUR THEATRE PROGRAM

​

  • Acting and Performance Training - Students learn techniques in voice projection, expression, and stage presence.

  • Storytelling with Purpose - We select plays and performances that inspire students to reflect and grow their own stories.

  • Technical and Behind-the-Scenes Skills - Students can explore set design, lighting, costuming, and stage management.

  • Character Development On and Off Stage - Theatre fosters confidence, empathy, and leadership that extends beyond performance.

  • School Productions - Our students participate in plays and productions that bring people together and share meaningful messages. 

​

WHY THEATRE MATTERS

​

Theatre strengthens communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving, helping students become confident and articulate leaders. Our program provides a space where students can explore their gifts while learning how to engage with stories that inspire and uplift.

​

Whether on stage or behind the scenes, every student has a role to play. We invite you to join us in discovering the power of storytelling and the impact of theatre done with excellence and purpose!

​

Students from elementary through high school have many opportunities to participate in OCA theater productions. From special events like summer theater camp or the fall week-long music theater production, Missoula Children’s Theater, to theater classes in our secondary curriculum, to our campus-wide spring productions, OCA Fine Arts welcomes students of all skill levels to experience theater. Recent OCA Theater productions have included "James and the Giant Peach," "Our Town," "The Wizard of Oz," "Beauty and the Beast," "You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown," "Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella," and "Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales."
