SPOTLIGHT:

OP's new play-reading series launched to a packed house

The Play's the Thing...

It was standing room only on Friday night, July 3rd, when Opera Piccola launched its new play-reading series with a special event at the Oakland Museum of California.  OP actors and interns performed a staged reading of four short plays by Oakland-based playwrights Jay Chee, Judith Offer, Julie Rainbow and emerging writer Nicole Shaw.  Thanks to all involved for making this such a successful event!  And join us for our Second Sundays Play and Poetry Series, each and every second Sunday, 4-6 pm, at Opera Piccola Headquarters.
