I dug up this picture of an old OtB van from our archive. Pictured, former Artistic Director Mark Murphy and former Managing Director Sara Pasti. Anyone know what year this was taken?

Sarah hands the check to Jeff Crockett, while Lane pumps his fist in triumph.
Thanks to all the amazing patrons and friends who raised the paddle during our fundraiser last week, we are the proud owners of this lovely 2005 champagne-colored 15 passenger Chevy van. It's even got tinted windows and A/C! We'll be rolling to the airport in style now.
Both shows turned out great. By circumstance the first was on Father’s Day which we acknowledged and the second happened to be the first day that same-sex couples could be married in California[which are recognized in Washington State], which we also acknowledged.

Not having been a curator before I was apprehensive about doing it, but very thrilled as well since I have been a subscriber to OtB for years and have been going to 12 Minutes Max for years as well. I was so thrilled that I skipped plans to go to San Francisco’s Symphonies Black & White Ball, something I haven’t missed since 1981. John Wilson, my co-curator, is a very experienced teacher at Cornish who specializes in dramaturgy. He is an amazing and wonderful person to work with, providing a great depth of theatrical knowledge and the ability to express it in a constructive, positive, and thoughtful way. Sean Ryan of OtB coordinated everything and has obviously been doing this for a while since the whole experienced worked like clockwork. There were 15 acts that had signed up to audition. Two of them were on DVD (One from Canada, another from New York[artists take...

Transcendent scenery, creative use of technology, and a clean, uncluttered script creates a piece of theatre that is multi-layered, unpretentious, and totally innovative. READ MORE
