Oldham County Performance Troupe (OCPT)

OCPT is a pre-professional program comprised of students ages 8-18. Courses are designed to prepare students to be "triple threats" (dancing, singing and acting) at the collegiate and/or professional level. OCPT students take weekly classes in ballet, tap, jazz, musical theatre dance and acrobatics and participate in group rehearsals. The time commitment ranges from 3 - 7 hours in a typical week, depending on age and experience level. The troupe is a serious time and financial commitment due to the intense focus of the program. Besides tuition, additional costume & workshop fees will apply throughout the year as well as volunteer hours for fundraising and required tech rehearsals and performances. A limited number of students are selected each year through an audition process in August.

Group auditions for the 2025-26 school year have concluded. To request an individual OCPT Audition, please email: trinalynnjackson@oldham.kyschools.us

Audition requirements: Students should wear dance attire (leotard and tights for girls, t-shirt/tank and dance shorts or athletic pants for boys), and bring all dance shoes that they have (ballet, tap, jazz) for the dance part of the audition. Auditionees should also come prepared to sing a Broadway showtune of their choice, with an accompaniment track on their phone (no background vocals).
