The Center For The Arts' small black box venue, affectionately know by those who work there as Off Center Stage (OCS), is Grass Valley's premiere alternative theater, and has come by this reputation from over five years of hosting plays, theater companies, and poetry readings. Over the last year, OCS has hosted or produced a wide variety of shows from alternative classics such as Shel's Shorts by Shel Silverstein, Seascape by Edward Albee, Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet, to the Samuel Beckett masterpieces Endgame, Act Without Words and Waiting For Godot. |
Always on the cutting edge, OCS has also hosted original works such as Push by Jimmy McCammon, Cry, Little Girl, by Jesse Sabin and Ian Haines, and two touching one-woman shows written and performed by Kres Mersky aptly named The Life and Times of A. Einstein, and Isadora Duncan: A Unique Recital. OCS continues through the summer with the current production of Oliver Hailey's Fathers Day. In August, OCS premiers Free Food Forever, a new musical directed by the McCammon brothers. This original work appears along with Irwin Shaw's classic Broadway one-act, Bury The Dead. |
