The Jeff Hattman Center for
the Performing Arts is now Open!
Since 1951, Orange Community Players has been a source of outstanding community theater in Southeast, Texas. After numerous floods in our former location and an untenable rise in our insurance premium, we were forced to leave our former playhouse. Our new facility is named The Jeff Hattman Center for the Performing Arts in honor of long time LCM theater instructor and OCP member Jeff Hattman. Located at 3330 Bowling Ln., completion of the new facility is an ongoing three phase project. We are excited about where we are, and what the future will bring! Check out our progress below.
PHASE ONE
Build Dressing Rooms and a Prop Room
Orange Community Players has completed a number of ambitious projects that will lead to a first class Performing Arts Center. Our most ambitious project has been completed with the addition of a Prop Room and Dressing rooms attached to our block box theater.
COMPLETED!
PHASE TWO
Finish out the Lobby and Black Box Theater
With Phase One behind us and our doors open we are now holding auditions, rehearsing and staging productions in our Black Box Theater. Very soon we will schedule a full season of plays, and our summer kid's programs will be back in place. The completion of Phase Two will see us finish out the Lobby and Black Box infrastructure.

PHASE THREE
Open the Proscenium Stage
With Phase One and Two complete, OCP will turn our attention to Phase Three - the completion of our traditional or proscenium stage. This will make possible the production of large and technically ambitious productions.
