Otero Players performing in the theater
The Otero Players is an independent project of the Otero Junior College Department of Arts. We are a consortium of faculty members, students, college staff, and community volunteers who produce live theatrical events, stage plays, and mediated performances for a variety of venues. Our primary mission is to educate our students and our audiences through the performing arts, and to enhance our community's understanding of social issues and the human condition. We are dedicated to teaching and learning, to research and discovery, and to outreach and public service.
