STAGES - Performing Arts Education
Lebowsky Center for Performing Arts, with the support of the Cook Family Foundation, is realizing its vision of bringing performing arts education in its many disciplines to the greater Shiawassee region. At OCP, we believe that immersion in the arts fosters confidence, creative problem-solving skills, and a healthy self-image.
Our Performing Arts Program is year-round and is split into three “terms”, plus Summer Camps. It is our hope to engage students from kindergarten through adulthood every term, with workshop times varying from after school into early evening, and on Saturdays.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Owosso Community Players strives to be widely recognized for its excellence in presenting extraordinary and entertaining theatre as well as for its commitment to nurturing arts appreciation through comprehensive theatrical education. As a community anchor, OCP seeks to engage all age groups in its pursuit of cultural enrichment. Through regularly scheduled programming we support area business.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
OCP will create and present a well-balanced season of professional quality live theatre that invites diverse participation, and audience engagement. (Production)
OCP will design & implement a comprehensive marketing and communication strategy to engage our community and increase audiences. (Marketing and Communication)
OCP will develop a year-round theatrical arts education program—multi-age, multi-level, and multi-disciplinary curriculum operated by qualified staff in its own dedicated space. (Education)
OCP will become financially stable and self-sustainable, develop internal controls, and grow, develop and retain strong teams. (Internal Operations)
OCP will develop a master facility plan that provides for the current and future needs of the organization. (Facilities)
OCP will foster collaborative partnerships within the local community that will enhance the economic and cultural life of its residents. (Community and Partnerships)
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Owosso Community Players have a highly engaged Board of Trustees and uniquely qualified staff to move the organization to its highest vision.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
After the devastating loss due to fire, the Owosso Community Players undertook to rebuild the historic theater and reopen in grand style in 2014. Since that time, OCP continues to grow its productions and programs into a self-sustainable organization that has a cultural and economic impact on the community it serves. We are focusing on becoming a community hub by collaborating with other non-profits to enhance the quality of life in our community.
