In February '09,OMP donated $1 per ticket from A Weekend of One-Act Plays to the
    Community Involvement Committee through Georgia's Own Credit Union.  The program
    adopts families during the holidays, supports an annual “Special Citizen’s Holiday Party” for
    mentally challenged kids and adults and supports Children’s Health Care of Atlanta.  The
    committee does a great job of serving and supporting our community.
For Harvest '09 A New Crop of 10-Minute Plays, OMP donated $1 per ticket to Erasing the Distance.
Erasing the Distance generates awareness, disarms stigma, and ignites the healing process by … creating and performing
professional theatrical productions based on the true stories of people’s experiences with mental illness … holding
facilitated dialogues after every performance so that audience members can ask questions in a safe forum … providing
information and resources from such respected organizations as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) so people
can access help if they need it.
    OMP provides opportunities for members of the community to serve on the Literary
    Committee.  The Committee helps select the plays OMP will produce each year.  Also,
    the company offers a variety of ways for people in the community to get involved with
    producing new plays.
The Layers in the Onion
As a part of Harvest '09, OMP presented two free readings of 10-minute
plays by new local writers. Also, open talk-back sessions with actors,
playwrights and directors were included as part of the festival.
In October 2009, OMP donated its website for online purchases and to help promote a
benefit production of Lillies of the Field. The shows raised money for the Peachtree
Elementary Emergency Fund.
    Just Write! An Introduction to Playwrighting
    OMP, in association with Lionheart Theatre Company, offers this low-
    cost five-week playwriting class to the community.  The cost is
    purposely kept low as the class is offered as part of a community
    outreach effort.
In association with Lionheart Theatre, Onion Man produced a free reading, open to the
public, of Daphne Mintz play, In Lieu of Flowers.
