The Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP) production of The Drawer Boy will open Friday, April 9, 2021. The show will run through Sunday, May 2, Wednesdays through Thursdays in the Hawks Mainstage Theatre at OCP. Tickets are on sale now starting at $36 with prices varying by performance.

Seeking inspiration for her new play, Miles, a young actress from Toronto, moves in with Angus and Morgan, two aging bachelor farmers, in rural Ontario. Angus, who suffered a brain injury during World War II, finds joy and solace hearing Morgan retell stories from days gone by. But when Miles includes one of these stories in her play, she sets off a chain of events that will leave all three of them forever changed. Witty and touching, The Drawer Boy is a testament to the transformative power of storytelling

All audience, staff and volunteers will be required to wear masks. Masks will be available free of charge and must be worn properly in accordance with CDC guidelines. Patrons attending a show in either theatre will be socially distanced from other guests with all groups at least six feet apart. Productions will not incorporate any physical audience participation.
