A satirical parody, an homage, a provocative mash-up of Ionesco's absurdist masterpiece, Rhinoceros, and this very old play, Oedipus Rex. ​
​
The country is plagued with pestilence, and folks are turning into angry, horned dinosaurs. Dang it!
All Boo wants to do is look at her phone and drink wine, But her best friend and everybody else keeps biting her head off about everything.
​
April 9-18, Thursday through Saturday, 7pm.
Somewhere in Staunton. We'll let you know.
​
Make a Gift and Your Gift will be doubled.
A very generous and mysterious benefactor has made a matching challenge donation. This means that between now and April 16 your gift will be doubled.
​
We believe strongly in the importance of daring independent theatre, locally conceived, written, cast, created and presented. Help us to bring you the strangest stories we can think of, the weirdest puppets we can cobble, soul-stirring music, and thoughtful conversations.
​
Your donations will help us pay our performers, and while we try to use recycled materials, there are several materials needed to turn our garbage into art. As our ensemble and our ambitions grow, things like lighting and sound equipment, and old refrigerators creep into the budget. Become our patron, and make our work possible.
The Off Center's Mission
The Off Center is a Staunton, Virginia based organization that brings people of every background together to experience curious stories and experiences. We believe in the intrinsic value of gathering and exploring thoughts that we’ve never thought. We encourage novelty and disruption. Discovery is a basic human need. We seek to fill it.
The work that we create and support is off center, inviting participants to see something askew, possibly something previously unconsidered, maybe something uncommon or even disquieting. An aslant view, we believe, brings us all together as community, welcoming our quirky and genuine selves.
