Theater Closed for Repairs

A Golden State Water Company water main break between Signal And Ventura streets in front of the Ojai Playhouse caused significant damage and flooding to the building.

Marquee Use Guidelines for Nonprofits

• The marquee is offered free of charge to Ojai-based nonprofits serving the Ojai community. If you would like to request use of the marquee for an upcoming event, please provide information on where you are located and the community you serve. This information should also be readily available on your website and/or in your literature.
• Marquee requests are on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to the nonprofit organization that first requests the space. If you are not a nonprofit requesting the use of the marquee, nonprofit events will take priority.
• Only two events are allowed on the marquee at any one time to  legibility purposes.
• Events can be posted up to two weeks prior to the event date. If there is space available, you may post your event earlier. However, if another event that takes place before your event requests space, you may be bumped until it is your week.
• The first requested event will receive priority on the top two lines of the marquee on the week prior to their event. A line space will be immediately underneath the first event and a one-line event listing will be on the bottom row.
• If two lines are not needed for your event, you may have the top line with a space immediately below, with a two-line event listed at bottom.
• If two events are on the same weekend with an event the next weekend, the first two events will have priority and the next weekend’s event will go up the week prior to their event.
• It is the event organizer’s responsibility to put up their lettering at an agreed-upon time and date.
• To check availability of the marquee please contact Andy Gilman: greatbooksojai@gmail.com or (805) 231-5974.

MountainFilm of Telluride Comes to Ojai for a Fundraising Event (Sold Out)

As a part of the major repair and renovation currently underway at the Ojai Playhouse, the Ojai Film Society has identified a number of specific projects it would like to undertake that will not be covered by the Golden State Water Co. insurance claim, but that would significantly improve the performance and quality of the theater’s presentations. To that end, the Ojai Film Society and the Ojai Film Festival are co-sponsoring an event in order to raise funds for these projects.

The event takes place Tuesday, November 11 at the Ojai Art Center at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 per person. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Seating is limited.
