Ready for your closeup? Ocala Civic Theatre is offering a special opportunity for its 70th anniversary season: Help with socially distanced seating by purchasing a personalized cutout!
As OCT opens the 2020-2021 season, it is providing socially distanced seating to make it safer for us all to enjoy live theatre together. OCT will be placing cardboard cutouts–or “understudies”–in the seats it needs to keep empty for optimal social distancing… because there’s nothing like a full house! And OCT is giving you the opportunity to “cast an understudy” of your own with a personalized cutout.
Cutouts are 40×16 inches. You have your choice of two costumes. The photo should be of one individual, but it doesn’t have to be you. A cutout is a great way to honor a friend or relative, or you can even take a picture of a pet.
Each cutout is $100. You can purchase a cutout online at ocalacivictheatre.com and then upload a photo and immortalize yourself in time for opening night of the 70th anniversary season. Photo specifications are outlined on the order form.
There is no limit to how many cutouts you can purchase. Your cutouts may be seated in a variety of locations throughout the season. After all, every seat is the best seat in the house when you’re cardboard! Your cutout is yours to keep once the season is over. There also will be opportunities to decorate your cutout for holidays and special occasions this season.
The deadline to “send in your understudy” to be in the audience for opening night is September 10. This is a fun way to support OCT during this unprecedented time.
