Q: Why do we need a shared performing arts theater?
A: The Greater Orange Community Arts Theater will enhance our community by enriching the lives of children (and adults of all ages) with opportunities to learn, teach, and perform in a space where everyone is welcome. This shared performing arts theater will also provide a safe haven and sense of belonging to, for all those who wish to express themselves through visual and performing arts.

Testimonials
"The world of performing arts saved my children and developed their characters in ways I could have never imagined. From choir performances to live, on-stage musicals, they blossomed into the most amazing human beings you'll ever know. As a family, we have a deep compassion and appreciation for the arts and are looking forward to GOCAT providing the same opportunities for generations to come."
