Studio 219

Improvised Comedy with NCIS (North County Improv Squad) Halloween Spooktacular

Come in costume, and don’t miss out on a night of spontaneity and laughter! Rated PG-13.

Hidden Moments: An Evening of Innovative Improv


Experience an evening of live, improvised theater with two bold new works in OTC’s Studio 219. These performances go beyond quick laughs, offering slice-of-life moments that explore the full range of human experience.

The night opens with CrossRoads, an improvised story uncovering the hidden connections between strangers in a single place. Then comes Terminal—a high-stakes journey that begins in tragedy and unfolds into something both cathartic and unexpectedly hilarious. Please note: Terminal covers some topics that touch on deeper emotional themes, ranging from sorrow to joy.

Together, these shows push beyond traditional improv, blending raw emotion with sharp humor to reveal powerful human stories—created entirely in the moment.

Improv Comedy Triple Header


Join us for a fun night of improv comedy at OTC’s Studio 219 with three incredible teams!

First, get drawn into the fun and compelling world of CrossRoads, which explores the hidden stories connecting a group of strangers — a journey into the poignant and hilarious private lives we carry into public spaces.

Then, prepare for the untamed energy and hilarious absurdity of San Diego’s Beast Village! This powerhouse team unleashes a wild, character-driven set that is guaranteed to be chaotic, unforgettable, and gut-bustingly funny.

Finally, we welcome back Optimus Rhyme, a high-energy, interactive hip hop improv team that turns audience suggestions into an unforgettable, once-only hip hop experience!

From the heartfelt to the hilarious, this is a full-spectrum night of comedy you won’t want to miss!

Resonance Collaborative Open Mic


Resonance is a free, all-ages event hosted by St. Brigid’s Episcopal Church and Oceanside Theatre Company, that builds community through creative expression. It’s a space for all creatively-inclined people — artists, musicians, writers, and more — to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together.

It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night — but it has elements of all of these. And everyone who comes is welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too.
