Frere Jacques by Joni Ravenna
In a 16th-century French monastery, two friars display opposing responses to a forbidden act of love.

A man crawls through mud, rain and thorns to see an old lover, who has recently suffered a brain injury.
My Right Foot by Dana Hammer
Lyla is a baker with a problem — she wants her right foot to be removed, and no one will remove it for her. When she discovers that one of her customers is a disgraced surgeon, living under a false name, she shows up at his house with pie — and a proposition.
Will’s Last Test by Craig Holland
In the future, an elderly man visits a clinic for what he thinks is a health checkup, but it turns out his life is on the line.
More details to follow! OCPA makes its debut at the acclaimed Costa Mesa Playhouse with this new play event.
Costa Mesa Playhouse (costamesaplayhouse.com), with recent productions heavily awarded and recommended by the Orange County Theatre Guild and Orange Curtain Review, has been a staple in the OC theater community for more than 50 years, offering diverse, quality live theater in an intimate setting. The Playhouse is dedicated to offering a welcoming environment to actors, singers, dancers and stage craftspeople of Orange County.
For over twenty years, the Orange County Playwrights Alliance (OCPA) has provided writers the opportunity to explore their creativity in an intellectually safe environment by providing table readings and public presentations of members’ work. OCPA additionally interacts with the theatre community to provide actors, directors, and audiences with entertaining and thought provoking theatrical work.
