Welcome to Over Our Heads Players Season 26 !
Whether its your first OOHPS production or you've been an audience member since our inaugural production 26 years ago at our first home "George's Bar" - welcome.
Our theatre company was in fact "born in a bar" 26 years ago. Since then we have been bringing professional quality, new theatre experiences to our community and priding ourselves on winning audience members along the way. We love to hear audience members rave about adopting us as "their theatre!"
What can you expect from an OOHPS production? The unexpected.
We take great pride in offering our community an urban theatre style that is most often reserved for cities much larger than ours. Our mission continues to focus on new material and the OOHP emphasis on humor. We enjoy providing topics and humor from all angles, including thought provoking plays that may even find humor and messages in the darker corners of life. And we continue to never edit for content or language.
We are so very grateful to our loyal audience and generous sponsors that have helped make this 26th year possible. Our greatest achievement has been watching our audience and community grow with us.
The time and effort invested by our many dedicated volunteers, board and our staff, is in service the moment you arrive. Our gratitude that you have chosen to spend your time here with us cannot be overstated.
We look forward to having you in our audience !

Sassy Comedy / Drama Based on an Actual Incident by Stephen Sachs. Provocative and hilarious look at what makes art – and people - authentic.
Maude, an unemployed bartender living in a trailer park, has bought a painting from a thrift store as a gag gift. Now, she’s convinced it’s a lost Jackson Pollock masterpiece worth millions. But when world-class art expert Lionel Percy arrives to authenticate the painting, he has no idea what he is about to discover. Inspired by true events, class and culture clash in a hilarious punch of edgy dialogue and tingling bite. If this were a movie, we think it would be rated "PG-13." Tickets go on sale Midnight, September 1st. -
