We must rely on the generosity of our patrons in order to be able to produce the quality family entertainment you have come to expect. During the winter months, we do not perform. Yet we continue to have financial obligations that must be met including mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities. We wish that ticket sales alone would sustain the operation of our theatre, but they do not. Therefore, we are asking for your help in continuing our vision of the community theatre experience.

We are the greater Harrisburg area's only 100% volunteer theatre. Every dollar that you donate to us goes directly towards the cost of producing our shows and maintaining our theatre. Hundreds of volunteers donate thousands of hours a year to produce the quality entertainment that our patrons have come to expect, but they won't be able to continue without your support. Please take a moment now to join in this year's "casting call" and show your support for sustaining quality, live community theatre in our area.

Become a "Cast Member"

You can become a valued "cast member” by making a donation in one of the following six categories.  All donations of $25 or more will be recognized by category in the programs for the 2008 season.  If you wish to make a donation to our 2008 Fund Raising Campaign, please make your check payable to Oyster Mill Playhouse and mail it the playhouse at 1001 Oyster Mill Road, Camp Hill, PA 17011. Please insure that your name (as you would like it to appear in our program), address and evening telephone number are printed or written on the check, or forwarded with it.  Donations to OMP can also be made online using Tickets24.

All donations are 100% tax-deductible because the non-profit Metropolitan Repertory Company, Inc. – which does business as the Oyster Mill Playhouse – is an approved 501(c)(3) organization. More importantly, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting quality live theater in the Harrisburg area.

OMP Note Cards Are For Sale...

There are two paintings of the original Oyster Mill Playhouse and the painting of the Oyster Mill Bridge hanging in the lobby. They were painted by Ron Shuey, a well-known local artist and past President of OMP. Now there is a fourth painting by Mr. Shuey showing the playhouse as it is now. Watercolor replicas of these paintings have been made into note cards and the note cards are currently on sale.

There are eight cards (two of each painting) and eight envelopes in each package. The cards have a brief history on the playhouse on the back, and are blank on the inside. The pack also includes a “note” about the artist. They are $4.00 per pack; not a bad price considering that the paintings are originals.

You can purchase these cards during a show or by calling the theater and placing your order. They make wonderful gifts anytime of the year for the letter or thank you note writer. You can see close-ups of the four different designs by clicking on the images below...
