Ophelia’s Jump focuses on producing works that engender thought and spark conversations.
Conceived of and founded by veteran actor, director, and teacher, Beatrice Casagran, and actor Caitlin Lopez, Ophelia’s Jump is a theatre company that focuses on producing highly regarded, award winning works that leave audiences asking questions and discussing big ideas- theatre that invites you to leap into the drama. Our goal is to produce both creative new interpretations of classical and awar
d winning works, and also new works by talented local and regional artists. Ophelia’s Jump's educational mission includes developing workshops for educators in incorporating performing arts and drama into the curriculum to increase student engagement and learning.
Operating as usual
So, we were sold out the closing weekend of Well Behaved Women. It was standing room only. Someone complained to the fire department so now we are getting an inspection, which we welcome because we are totally up to code. Small theater is struggling y'all. If you can reserve your tickets early, instead of waiting till the last weekend, it would help so much!

Small theatre closures are speeding up. Working as hard as we can and being as frugal as possible is not enough. Legislature! Put your money where your mouth is and support arts workers and the small nonprofit companies who employ the majority of them. What good are your labor laws if jobs disappear because you don’t fund arts orgs so they can implement the positive change you said you want?
Rising costs and canceled performances are contributing to Main Stage West’s closure.
Stories sung from the imagined perspectives of some of history’s most impactful female trailblazers. Well-Behaved Women by Carmel Dean opened at Joe's Pub in January 2020 and then you know what happened. This funny, moving, & informative song cycle musical that centers fierce women who changed the world is the perfect opener Ophelia's Jump's 10th Anniversary season.
