drama
Students from elementary through high school have many opportunities to participate in OCA theater productions. From special events like our summer theater camp or the fall week-long music theater with Missoula Children’s Theater, to theater classes in our secondary curriculum, to our campus-wide spring productions, OCA Fine Arts welcomes students of all skill levels to experience theater. Our high school theater group, known as “Parables,” combines the stage with the Bible to explore God’s design and His story through character study, performance, and one-act competition. Recent OCA Theater productions have included The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.
