Opera House Theatre Company

40-Year Wilmington Theatre with a Working Academy

Opera House Theatre Company has produced high-quality live theatre in Wilmington since 1985. Alongside its mainstage season, OHTC runs an academy division that trains youth performers and brings them onto its productions.

OHTC Academy and Youth Programs

Education programs welcome students from young kids exploring performance for the first time up through adults. Programming includes:
- OHTC Academy classes (fall and spring sessions)
- Academy productions such as Mean Girls
- Summer Camps for kids and teens
- Workshops led by industry-experienced performers

What's Included

• Coaching from accomplished industry professionals
• Scholarships for eligible students
• Pathway from class to academy production to mainstage casting

Experience

OHTC fits kids who want a serious, recurring training environment attached to a working theatre company rather than a standalone class. Forty years of continuous production gives students a credible stage with consistent direction.
