About The Overtime Theater
In business since late 2006, the Overtime Theater is dedicated to providing innovative and accessible entertainment at an affordable price. The shows are all new, original works, or new, unconventional adaptations of old classics. The Overtime Theater specializes in world premieres of works never before seen on stage!
In just three years, the Overtime has produced almost 30 new shows, including three original musicals: Sheer Bloody Lunacy!, Pirates Vs. Ninjas, and The Brain That Wouldn't Die: A New Musical. Other notable productions have included The Good Samaritan, Poet Faustus, Sob! Choke…LOVE!, What Will Happen, and most recently, the world premieres of Buddha Swings, Action Philosophers!, The Hard Bargain, The Happy Couple, and The Life and Death of the Amazing Captain Piledriver The Overtime Theater also collaborates with local visual artists, giving them a prominent space in which to display their works in the Blue Star Complex.
The Overtime Theater has now moved to non-profit status pending approval by the IRS. This decision has been made to extend the Overtime's mission of "art for the people" to the greater community, including through planned, low-cost workshops in acting, playwriting, comedy improv skills, and art by working professionals.
