THE NATIONAL PLAYERS, OLNEY THEATRE'S HISTORIC RESIDENT TOURING COMPANY, WAS IN OPERATION FOR HALF OF FY23 BEFORE TAKING A HIATUS DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC IMPACT, LEADERSHIP CHANGE, AND GENERAL SHIFTS IN THE INDUSTRY RELATED TO TOURING. OLNEY THEATRE IS CURRENTLY REIMAGINING NATIONAL PLAYERS AS A MORE REGIONALLY BASED EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM TO BETTER FIT THE NEEDS OF THE INDUSTRY AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY. IN FY23, THE NATIONAL PLAYERS BROUGHT THEIR WORK TO ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY CENTERS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT DREW UNDERSERVED YOUTH AND ADULTS.


A CORE COMPONENT OF OLNEY THEATRE'S MISSION IS TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATER-MAKERS AND AUDIENCES. WE DO THIS THROUGH:1) THE APPRENTICE TRAINING PROGRAM WHERE 16 EARLY-CAREER THEATER PROFESSIONALS TRAIN ALONGSIDE PROFESSIONAL MENTORS FOR ONE YEAR; 2) THE OTC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WHERE THREE STAFF MEMBERS AND OTC TEACHING ARTISTS CREATE AND IMPLEMENT OTC EDUCATION INITIATIVES; AND 3) THE ARTS INTEGRATION PROGRAM AND SUMMER CAMPS WHERE KIDS AGES 9-16 PARTICIPATE IN OUT-OF-SCHOOL AND IN-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THAT CULTIVATE THEIR PERFORMING ARTS INTERESTS, IMPROVE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL HEALTH, AND GROW CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
