The Theatre Department at Ohio State Newark has been providing theatrical entertainment to the community for 14 years. Auditions are always open to everyone, making this a community theatre.
Director Dave Williams, Ph.D., has produced over 40 plays; has created and led Outside the Box, an improve troupe, and has designed –and constructed- many intricate sets himself. In 2010, Dr. Williams established the New Play Contest, inviting playwrights from around the world to submit their unproduced work to compete in a “blind” contest. The contest received 276 entries, with four from Canada and the rest representing 35 American states. The second annual Play Contest is already underway with an April 1, 2012 deadline.
Dr. Williams has served as the director of the department since he joined Ohio State Newark in 1998. Previously, he was an associate professor at Providence University in Taichung, Taiwan, Province of China (1995-1998) and an adjunct instructor at Tompkins-Cortland Community College, Dryden New York (1994-1995).
