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.

Join Us in Celebrating the Performing Arts

Use this page as your starting point to find information about our many activities, including links to information for students about theatre scholarships, internship opportunities, and more. In addition to main stage productions, we create and present dramas based on local and regional history, record radio plays for broadcast and podcast, and provide community outreach through Carpa Otero, which offers performing arts in the Hispanic tradition.
