Oceanside Theatre Company (OTC) continues to shine brightly as a beacon for the arts in North County – even while overcoming the challenges of COVID-19. Although shuttered since March 2020, OTC still produced many well-received live-streamed and online events, including two staged readings (Quiet Cross and Donna Orbits the Moon), two visual art tours at the Brooks Theater Art Gallery, two piano concerts (Robert Parker), three music concerts (Luke Monday, and Nina Herzog, twice), and A Christmas Carol: A Radio Play for the holidays; additionally, we hosted, filmed, and live-streamed the inaugural Oceanside Culture Festival. These wonderful productions provided our audiences with quality theatre, music, and visual arts experiences from the safety of their own homes, properly socially-distanced, and without the need for face masks. Our 2019-20 season began with a successful run of Foxfire (in partnership with Scripps Ranch Theatre), followed by a full run of A Christmas Carol: A Radio Play. March 2020 brought the launch of Sweet Charity – our most ambitious musical production ever – complete with live orchestra, the largest adult cast and crew ever for OTC, and the most expensive live theatre event in the history of the Brooks Theater stage! Although cut short after only three spectacular performances, Sweet Charity was acclaimed by well-attended audiences and poised for a highly successful four-week run. Other notable events this past year included the full-scale musical Seussical, Jr. (an OTC Youth Outreach collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oceanside, including 50+ youth participants), successful Music Series concerts (including Rio Peligroso with Francis Blume and Nick Schnebelen Band with Backwater Blues Band), a planned collaboration with the Tustin Area Council For Fine Arts to produce Wizard of Oz, a strategic planning session with the OTC Board of Directors and Artistic Director Ted Leib to develop short-term plans and solutions for addressing COVID-19 challenges, and the addition of three new board members: Chase Tushaus, Ed Parish, and Erik Bradbury – Welcome! As we start fiscal 2021, we remain a financially stable and vibrant organization thanks to our generous individual donors, well-organized fundraising programs, virtual production proceeds, community and private grants, and local stimulus-related funding. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL! You are our lifeblood. Due to swift financial actions by our board early in the year, including strict cash-flow management practices, and significant reductions to operational expenses, OTC has sustained no formal debt. Although our positive cash-flow position has allowed us to sustain limited operations into 2021, additional support is necessary to weather ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. As we look forward to relaunching live performances, serving as a venue for artistic endeavors, community events, and youth education, in keeping with our mission, and as stewards of the historic Brooks Theater – our board is embarking on a 2021-22 Capital Campaign to fund the redesign and renovation of the Brooks Theater lobby, studio space, restrooms, and air filtration systems. This will extend the longevity and functionality of this historic community asset. I am immensely proud of our accomplishments this past year, and I am eternally grateful for our wonderful donors, patrons, volunteers, board, and sta. I wish to extend a special “Thank You” to our wonderful production partner Scripps Ranch Theatre, our Oceanside California Cultural District partners, the City of Oceanside, and MainStreet Oceanside, just to name a few. We couldn’t do it without you.

Cordially,
