On Camera: OFS Live!

Lights, camera, creativity! Go behind the scenes and in front of the lens as you create a collaborative kid-run sketch show inspired by your favorite streaming faves. From morning talk shows to mockumentaries, write, rehearse, and perform original segments starring you and your castmates. Look straight into the camera and say, “Who needs Hollywood? We’ve got this!”

This program is designed for all students—whether you dream of becoming a costume designer, simply want a fun way to make new friends, or both!
