ionals — you cannot categorize. We are vast
ecause it’s community theater,” Baker said.
We have all different ages, all different types
f people. We want to entertain. We have a
ot of talent. But one of the main aspects is
ducation — we try to do various types of
hows. We try to do a classic and comedies
very year.”
The education focus goes beyond what the
rganization puts on stage with the Off 380
layers annual summer youth production.
With the organization’s growth, the audince
members have increased as well. Baker
aid that people are often surprised that a
roup as talented as the Off 380 Players is
ocated in the county.
“When I moved back a couple of years ago,
t really surprised me how much talent we
have. A lot of people are really shocked,” he
said. “We really have a huge talent base that
I’m fond of cultivating.”
Conger said she loves theater and would
rather go to live theater than a movie.
“I want other people to really know how
exciting theater is. When you come to live
theater, every show is different,” she said.
“You can be more involved as an audience
member. It’s a great way to meet people and
friends. You end up getting a brotherhood of
actors. It’s really neat and fun.”
Baker said they welcome everyone, no matter
what level of expertise. We’re here to have
fun and put on a show.
