I know in the past the company has presented themselves outdoors in the park blocks at the beginning of the season, with company class and rehearsals open to observers -- is this happening this year?

Hi, Sandik. We lost our OBT Exposed sponsor this year so we had to temporarily suspend that program. We hope to bring it back as soon as possible though. We replaced it this summer with a one-day outdoor arts festival that we hosted in our parking lot in August.

If you're interested in observing the company, we're opening the Keller Auditorium to the public on October 8 from 11:30-5:00 as part of Oregon's Day of Culture. People can come and go as they please and watch the company take class and rehearse the retrospective program that opens next weekend.
