The Ojai Playwrights Conference is a non-profit organization focused on playwrights and the development of their new plays. It was founded on the belief that gathering a community of world-class theatre artists together in a place of extraordinary beauty can lead to a collaborative process that enables these artists to qualitatively rework and refine their dramatic vision.
Every summer since 1998, theatre professionals and enthusiastic audiences from Southern California have converged in Ojai Valley to participate in the new play development process. Under the direction of Artistic Director/Producer Robert Egan, playwrights from all backgrounds join together for an intensive two-week, in-residence workshop. This process culminates in OPC's popular public performance series ? the Ojai Playwrights Conference Summer New Works Festival.
