Opelika Community Theatre recently experienced a serious electrical issue that resulted in significant, unexpected expenses. We need our community’s help to REBOOT, recharge, and keep the stage lights shining!For more than 11 years, OCT has provided opportunities for children, adults, families, and volunteers to experience the magic of live theatre right here in our community.Your donation helps OCT recover from these unexpected costs while supporting the work that keeps community theatre thriving—from building and production expenses to show licensing, sets, costumes, educational programs, scholarships, and more.Every gift makes a difference.Thank you for helping us keep OCT strong, keep our programs accessible, and keep the stage lights shining for the next act. 🎭⚡
