We believe in fostering an inclusive culture that allows all individuals to attain their greatest potential. We create a welcoming environment for our patrons and artists. We provide deep, enriching engagement for the communities we serve.

"Great ideas, leaders, and decisions come from all races, ages, backgrounds, genders, relationship orientations, religions, abilities, and can be found in any position on an org chart. It is the full participation of our workforce and community that makes O-pa what it is today and ensures that what we produce is relevant, useful, and accessible to everyone. "

— Bianca Harley, VP of Human Capital & Inclusion

Arts Access

O-pa distributes free and subsidized tickets to community organizations serving populations lacking adequate access to the performing arts. Arts Access participants include nonprofit organizations focusing on youth development, social services, persons with disabilities, individuals with fixed incomes, or other groups that, for a variety of reasons, do not have regular opportunities to experience high quality performing arts.
