Ophelia’s Jump is a non-profit regional theatre company based in Claremont and performing in Claremont and Upland. Ophelia's Jump Productions was founded by artists and educators who believe that the purpose of theatre is to create unending conversations, spark imagination, incite conscience, and elicit a visceral response. We aim to invigorate the creativity and intellect of our community by working with local emerging artists to do just that. OJP believes strongly in the communal power of great stories, dramatic ideas and the sincere engagement that audiences find in these theatrical events.  At OJP, we also believe that theatre can teach young people to empathize with others, think critically, and problem solve creatively. We want to cultivate our community's cultural landscape by opening access for youth to interactions with theatre as audience members, participants and critics.
