Introducing....TheatreOCU's Company Journal!!!!


So we all write our deepest, darkest, and most secret sentiments in our little journals each week – or the night before their due – but what are they really for. While some claim that journals are a perfect medium to compartmentalize each and every one of our frustrations, challenges, and discoveries, others (i.e. our professors) predict in the future, one magical day when we realize that we’ve entirely forgotten everything we learned here at OCU, and we will sprint to our trusty journals for nostalgia, review, or warm fuzzy feelings. But is this personal use of our journals all we can gain from what has become an expected normality in each class? I think not. Beginning now, a new use for our most secret thoughts regarding theatre is born. Beginning now, our journals are not only a tool for us to come closer to our artist-self, but to each other as a company. Beginning now, I challenge each artist in our company to consider new ideas, and share their own. If anyone who reads these very much appreciated, first journals has a response, or is inspired to write something of their own, please email me at sochsner.stu@okcu.edu as we begin on a new road of sharing and growth in our company.

Thank you,

Stephen Ochsner
