Nothing makes us happier here at the Workshop, than to hear about one of our alums doing well. Click on the blue button below to read about how Andrew Sherburne was chosen to design a window display for a bookshop on Broadway in New York City.

Great job, Andrew! We are all so proud of you!

Coming Up for the Middle School Class!
A Year With Frog and Toad: The Musical

From baking cookies to raking leaves, this pair of best friends have fun with their neighborhood friends. We are excited for our Middle School class to start rehearsals for this musical that will warm the hearts of all who watch it this June.

Stay tuned for more information to come.

The Olean Theatre Workshop would like to thank The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes for awarding us money in both the NYSCA SCR Community Arts Grant and the NYSCA SCR Teaching Artist Grant. Through the continued support of The Arts Council, through these grants, we will be able to offer our community affordable family-friendly theater, another free production of Shakespeare in the Park this summer, as well as help to teach our students the art of live performance and theatre tech.

Auditions Announcement

Saturday March 18th at 11am and 6pm - We will be holding auditions at the Olean Theatre Workshop for our next production: Three Days of Rain. If you cannot make it to auditions, but would like to be considered for a role, please contact the director Kelly Vaccaro or e-mail us at info@oleanworkshop.org

A little about the play:

A year after he disappeared, and on the day of his father’s funeral, Walker Janeway returns to New York. He takes up temporary residence in the unused space where thirty-five years earlier, his father, Ned, and Ned’s late partner, Theo, both architects, lived and designed the great house that would make them famous. Sleepless and emotionally jangled, Walker scours the old empty space for the key to his tortured, but unknown family history. Under the bed, he discovers his father’s journal, hidden for all these years. Walker is joined by his sister, Nan, and their friend from childhood, Pip, Theo’s son, to hear the reading of Ned’s will, and it is there that family secrets and tensions are revealed. In this play, we discover that our parents are not always who we thought them to be.
