🐛 Butterfly Crossing! 🦋

We are honored to have partnered with Clark College's Child & Family Studies to facilitate a six-week residency program, where we were inspired by the imagination and creativity of these very young artists. Using the bilingual one-act play 'Mariposa/Butterfly' by Sandra Fenichel Asher and José Casasas as their guide, these littles embraced the creative process, culminating in an adorable and "awww"-inspiring Butterfly Parade on Clark College's campus!

And the most exciting news of all? Their creativity will directly affect the development of OCT's upcoming production of Mariposa/Butterfly, with special performances happening at Clark's campus in the spring of 2027!
