Oak Grove theater concludes its summer season with "The Outsider": Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office…. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Oak Grove Theater sells tickets for the season - one season ticket purchase allows you to see each show once; tickets for a single performance are not available.

A Night to Die For is an interactive murder mystery wedding reception benefiting Connections Early Learning Center. Guests are invited to step into a three-part evening of suspense, celebration, unexpected twists, prizes, art, and community connection—all unfolding in the middle of a wedding reception dinner where not everything goes according to plan.

Connections Early Learning Center is a community-centered early learning program rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and real-world connection. Through hands-on learning, local partnerships, hot meals, and meaningful community engagement, we believe children thrive when they grow within a strong, connected “village.”

This annual fundraiser supports the daily operations and enrichment programming that make our work possible. The evening will also feature silent auction baskets curated through collaborations with local businesses, highlighting the strength and creativity of our broader community.

Curious about what we do—and the impact community collaboration has already made? Visit our website to explore our mission, our projects, and our growing track record of turning community support into real, visible outcomes. As for the mystery itself… we’ll let you solve that part on your own.

The opera Zorro! by composer Hector Armienta -- first showing on the East Coast!

Come for a story of love and heroic swordfighting, as the Californios struggle against the oppresive Old World Spanish monarchy! This new opera (premiered 2022) has been described as Puccini meets Mexico. Sung in English and Spanish, with English supertitles.. The opera had been shown with great success at Santa Barbara, San Jose, Arizona, and elsewhere in the Western USA; we are proud to be the first to bring it to the East Coast.

The work is set in the early 1800's, when there was great political upheaval in Spain and México. Inspired by true events in history and based on the pulp fiction character Zorro, a young man returns from Spain to the place of his birth - el pueblo de Los Ángeles. It is there, he will find his destiny and be reunited with a young mestiza he was once forbidden to love.

Tickets are available now, with reserved seating.$75, discount $70 (seniors, first responders, military, teachers, college faculty and staff, musicians, librarians), students $15, Tuesday students $10
