Leading from the Heart
We love putting on a spectacular show, but equally important to us are our core values. Nothing beats seeing our students transform their self-confidence, build collaborative skills, and up their creative thinking.
For over 30 years, we’ve strived to nurture a community that is warm, kind, and supportive. OST is a space where both adults and kids learn that it’s ok to make mistakes (in fact, we celebrate mistakes, because that’s how we all learn!).
Most of all, we’re a space that puts love first — whether we’re on stage or out in the world.
The House Rules
A PLAY BY BRUCE DEACHMAN & MEGAN PIERCEY MONAFU
Bailey is ready to leave the broken down housing co-op run by her father, where everyone knows everyone else’s business and amateur tunes from the music school on the first floor play day and night. But just as she’s ready to leave and pursue her dreams, tragedy strikes and Bailey’s tasked with saving the co-op and everyone in it. As a shiny new high rise goes up next door and political forces threaten the co-op’s survival, Bailey is pulled between the needs of others and her own ambitions. As she reaches her breaking point, a little bit of magic gives her a look into an alternate reality.
The House Rules features a cast of 54 actors from the Ottawa School of Theatre, ranging in age from 6 to 80. Our All Ages Plays bring multiple generations together to learn and play as equals as they work towards production.
Audience note: We recommend this play for ages 8 and up for maximum enjoyment and comprehension. The play deals in part with the death of a parent (indicated but not represented onstage).
