OEA Theatrical

Full-scale theater, rooted in Central Coast talent.

OEA Theatrical brings local performers, dedicated volunteers, and selected young actors together to create fully staged productions for the wider community. Sets, costumes, stage lighting and a dedicated backstage crew bring each show to life. Our casts unite adults and young performers, giving emerging actors the opportunity to work alongside experienced theater makers. Every production draws on the creativity, skill, and commitment of our Central Coast community.

The Oakwood Connection

OEA Theatrical shares its roots with Oakwood Enrichment Academy while operating separately from its academic classes. Through Oakwood’s 2-day a week program, students build foundations in acting, singing, movement, and stagecraft—skills that can prepare them to audition for and contribute to these larger productions at the Performing Arts Center, San Luis Obispo.

Artistic Leadership

OEA Theatrical is led by Artistic Director ErikMario Austin, Musical Director Kristina Prozesky, Technical Director Tim Seawell, and Choreographer Jordan Herman.

Kristina Prozesky is the founder and Executive Director of Oakwood Enrichment Academy. A master voice technique instructor and longtime performer, Kristina brings experience spanning opera, musical theater, and stage comedy.
