Orangeville Music Theatre presents two shows in January
|
For over forty years, Orangeville Music Theatre (OMT) has been entertaining local audiences with a wide range of award-winning musicals from classic shows to modern day stories. The non-profit, community organization is run by volunteers and relies on the dedication, enthusiasm, and talent of its many participants and supporters. OMT presents four shows per year, two main stage performances and two youth performances. Each show features local actors, singers, dancers, and crew with a wide range of ages and talents represented.
OMT created its popular youth program in 2012 to offer kids an opportunity to perform in a safe and creative environment while gaining confidence, honing their skills and building lasting friendships. Each production presented by the youth program involves over 50 participants under the age of eighteen.
In January, OMT will present the first two shows of its 2019 season. The main stage show, Beauty and the Beast, runs from January 11 to 20. Mary Poppins Jr. features the youth program and will be on stage from January 25 to 27. Auditions for OMT's two June performances will open in February.
