Ophelia\u2019s Jump Productions<\/h2>\n

Leap Into Theatre!<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”” el_class=”xtd-spacer”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text]Ophelia\u2019s Jump is a non-profit regional theatre company based in Claremont and performing in Claremont and Upland. Ophelia\u2019s Jump Productions was founded in 2012 by women and queer artists and educators who believe that the purpose of theatre is to create unending conversations, spark imagination, incite conscience, and elicit a visceral response. OJP aims to invigorate the creativity and intellect of our community by working with local and regional artists to tell compelling stories and educate new generations of theatre lovers. OJP believes in centering the stories of diverse voices and the work of diverse artists. OJP believes that presenting under-represented points of view promotes empathy between people of differing backgrounds, engenders critical thinking, and encourages creative problem-solving. We want to cultivate our community\u2019s cultural landscape by opening meaningful access to theatre for all by removing or reducing socio-economic, physical, and language barriers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”706″ img_size=”large” style=”xtd-shadow–large-hard” el_class=”xtd-offset-frame”][vc_column_text]\n
