Some great Young Professionals came in to record some commercials for us to use on our hold music. It was really fun for me as the marketing director to work with them. It was also great to see Stan and Laura Faye Smith doing what they do best! The YPs recorded 5 commercials for us to use as our hold music. Each commercial promotes one of the plays this season. Take a listen! They turned out great. I will post the Petite Rouge commercial as soon as we add the music.

Over the past 9 months we’ve been busy learning about, and making videos! Thanks to a generous grant from the Theatre Communications Group, we hope to connect with young audiences in ways that resonate with today’s world. And that means YouTube, blogs, online activities, you name it!

Current vidoes are posted on our OCT YouTube page, as well as on the main site. Thanks to the fantastic work of our Young Professionals there are currently 4 videos to view.
