OCSA presents - NOW. HERE. THIS.

WATCH NOW. HERE. THIS.

Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) is excited to announce the premiere of an amazing full-length virtual musical theater production, NOW. HERE. THIS.   Performed by more than 30 OCSA students, NOW. HERE. THIS. will also be the final high school performance for 11 graduating seniors.

Students were fully engaged in the creation process of Now. Here. This. and rehearsed over Zoom meetings, shot over six weeks entirely in quarantine using iPhones and home computers, and presented start-to-finish as a digital project.

OCSA students from the musical theatre, acting, production & design and visual arts conservatories collaborated to create one full-length high school musical this season where the curtain will still rise!

Now. Here. This. is a musical that explores what goes down in the space between the past and the future, and why living in the present is life’s greatest gift. Timely lessons for today, to say the least. Told over 20 modules (mini-musical scenes), the show delves into life’s big questions with inimitable humor and humanity. Originally written for four actors, this production has been adapted for flexible casting for any number of performers, from four to 400. This is also a flexible and gender-neutral adaptation that allows any performer to be cast in nearly any role, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.
