North Central Florida's Best Live Theatre - Ocala Civic Theatre has been uplifting, inspiring, and entertaining our community for almost 75 years. Founded in 1950, OCT is one of the largest community theatres in the state and serves 65,000 local residents each season. We can present professional-quality live performances thanks to the talents and dedication of our volunteers, staff, and guest designers. In addition, The Academy’s education program reaches more than 1,000 learners of all ages year-round through skill-building and performance classes. 

The Academy offers year-round multi-generational programs that build confidence, compassion, and community through creative arts. Through the exploration of stories, we develop our learners’ self-worth and empathy while nurturing their confidence and sense of responsibility. The communication and collaboration skills built through creative play also contribute to the personal success of our learners and their positive impact in their communities, both great and small.
