Stage Party

Stage Party is a biennial fundraising event to support O-pa's education and engagement programs.

The most recent event took place on Aug. 20, 2021. More than 160 people gathered at the Holland Performing Arts Center to celebrate the music of the Broadway musical HADESTOWN. Attendees enjoyed food, music and an incredible performance by Nebraska High School Theater Academy alum Lauren Johnson — while raising over $70,000 for education and engagement!
