The Ophelia Theatre Group was founded in 2003 by playwright/producer, Sarah Bennett, in her hometown of Lake Elsinore, California. Composed of a group of young actors who performed original works as well as classic favorites. It wasn't long before they were able to expand and begin doing larger budget dramas, Shakespeare, and even take on large scale musicals. Over the years the company became a staple of the community working with the local Woman's Club, Elks Lodge, and the public school system by providing entertainment for fundraisers, benefits, and educational programs.

By 2010 the Ophelia Theatre Group had produced dozens of full length productions and was looking to tackle a new challenge. Four of the group's key members moved to New York and in 2011 ten more of Ophelia's members uprooted and made NYC their new home.

Ophelia developed a sketch comedy show presented in their neighborhood Astoria, Queens. Since then they've already produced several published pieces and two originals in Manhattan and Queens. New York productions include: As You Like It, Rockabye Hamlet (first New York revival) by Cliff Jones, Fortinbras by Lee Blessing, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, Hamlet, The Cast Party by Sarah Victoria Bennett, God Chairs and the Infinite Burrito by Jon Schaller, Reasons to be Pretty by Neil Labute.
