About Us




			Oskaloosa Community Theatre has been bringing amateur theater to the Oskaloosa area for over 30 years. We have performed in many places throughout the years, finally making our home in the beautiful and historic building located at 406 High Ave. E. Many different people have been involved in our organization throughout the years. We strive to bring you quality shows, while remaining open to all participants.




			Amateur theater allows everyone the opportunity to be a part of an amazing experience. The unique thing about a non-profit organization such as OCT is that every aspect of our existence relies on volunteers. People who are always willing to work hard, but know how have a good time doing it. While OCT has been struggling in the past years, our faithful friends and motivated newcomers have kept our dream alive. We urge everyone who has ever wanted to be a part of the amazing experience that is theater, to watch for the auditions for the next show, or support us any way they can.




			OCT is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization.
