OCPA additionally interacts with the theatre community to provide actors, directors, and audiences with entertaining and thought provoking theatrical work.
Celebrating our 42nd season, Newport Theatre Arts Center has been producing the best local community theater since 1979. Nestled atop Cliff Drive in the heart of Newport Heights, we are conveniently located close to area restaurants.
