"This is an incredible opportunity for everyone involved," says Scott Smalley, Executive Director of Odesa Company and member of the PTAC Board of Directors. "It's been exciting to witness the resurgence of the Palace Theatre as we emerge from COVID, and after the success of Odesa and LCP's co-production of 'Dracula' last October, we have a chance to continue our pursuit of staging immersive and engaging theatre. We're looking forward to entertaining audiences and supporting the growth of both Odesa Company and PTAC."

The residency begins on January 1, 2025.
