"OCSA was a great place for me to be immersed in music and art during my high school years. One of the unique and formative experiences at OCSA was getting to perform works by living composers, which I have continued to do since moving to New York—and plan to keep doing as part of my musical life."
OCSA Alumnus, 2005
"I wouldn’t be where I am today without the amazing public arts education I received at OCSA. The training this school provides is incomparable. My OCSA experience was the cornerstone of my professional career."
OCSA Alumnus, 1997
“At first glance, it may seem that medicine is the furthest thing possible from the theatre. I would argue that OCSA was the best training that I ever received… The ability to embrace diversity, to work as a team and to learn empathy cannot be taught … But it can be further developed. That is the gift that OCSA gave me … I will forever cherish it.”
OCSA Alumna, 1994
“OCSA taught me a lot of what I know. I don’t think I would be where I am if it wasn’t for this school. Being in class every day and working that muscle over and over really helped give me the confidence I needed to go out and work.”
OCSA Alumnus, 2013
