Upcoming Important Dates
Anne of Green Gables
To mark the 20th Anniversary of OST’s All Ages Plays, we’ve invited the creator of these plays and past OST Artistic Director Kathi Langston back to direct this Canadian classic on the Harold Shenkman Hall stage!
Join the tale of Anne Shirley, adapted from the novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, as she arrives in Prince Edward Island as an unwanted orphan and finds a new home, while bringing joy and beauty to those around her.
We want your stories!
The Ottawa School of Theatre wants your stories!
We’re putting together a book about the little theatre school that could (and did): OST. An important part of this project is getting your stories. All kinds of them. On stage. Backstage. In class. At Beechwood, or the Teddy Bear picnic. Anything OST-related. Tell us about your achievements, past nightmares, future dreams, whatever you like.
It could be a story about how you overcame your stage fright, but it could also be a story about how terrified you are every time you step on stage. It could be about how you made a friend because of theatre. It could be about your favourite (or least favourite) role. The first time you sang on stage. Or how you had to keep a scene going once while dealing with some onstage wardrobe malfunction. Has being involved with theatre taught you anything about yourself? Has it taught you about others? Maybe just a funny story about a time when things went wrong (or when they went right)? Maybe it’s some superstition you have, or your most memorable moment at OST. Do you dedicate your shows to someone? They can be as short or as long as it takes to tell a story. Fifty words? Sure. One hundred? Okay. Five hundred? Yup. A thousand? Well, probably not. But write it anyway.
Also, if you have a favourite photo of you from your time at OST (or one that illustrates your story), please send that along, too. Send everything to Bruce Deachman at bruce@ost-eto.ca.
