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 the annual Harvest collection of short plays, OMP presents
readings of 10-minute plays by new local writers. Also, open talk-back
sessions with actors, playwrights and directors are 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-

public, of Daphne Mintz play, In Lieu of Flowers.
