Welcome to Oak Grove Theater!
From smaller performances to Broadway-style stage productions, Oak Grove Theater provides opportunities for children of all ages to take to the stage. The collaborative nature of a theater production requires many months of attention, dedication, personal vulnerability, and teamwork. Theater is a joyful and creative environment for relationship building between peers, and personal development outside students’ comfort zone. Whether on stage, backstage, parent volunteers building sets and fitting costumes, to sponsorships and playbill advertising to support the program, the entire community comes together to support and enjoy these wonderful moments of shared learning, joy, and enthusiasm.
Now in Production:

Mary Poppins
March 8-10, 2024
After months of rehearsals and countless hours put in by the Oak Grove Theater Team, student performers, crew members, and parent volunteers, the curtain was finally raised on four rousing performances of Mary Poppins. The ensemble cast treated nearly 1,000 enthusiastic audience members to this year’s high-flying production full of songs, dance numbers, and magic – reminding them that childlike wonderment and hope can prevail, even beyond Cherry Tree Lane.
