OCC Theater Celebrates 50 Years with

"50 for 50" Campaign

As we prepare to celebrate five decades of theatrical events in Richland County, we're embarking on a special mission: to raise $50,000 for 50 years of unforgettable performances and experiences. Our "50 for 50" campaign represents more than just a fundraising effort; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of this theater and the impact it has had on our community over the past half-century. With your generous contributions, we'll have the resources to elevate our productions, continue to expand our outreach, and ensure that our 50th anniversary is a true testament to the joy that we all experience, whether on stage or in the audience, through this theater. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to our goal and helps us write the next chapter of our storied history. Whether you're a longtime patron, a dedicated volunteer, a loyal sponsor, or simply someone who believes in the power of creativity and community, your contribution will make a difference. Together, let's make our golden anniversary a celebration to remember and lay the foundation for another 50 years. Thank you for being a part of our journey and for helping us make our 50th anniversary a milestone to remember.
