Join us 4 times in 2026 at the Oregon Public Library for Pajama Story Time!

The 3rd Monday of every month at 6pm in the Childern’s Program Room.

OSHP will host March, April, July, and November.

This classic Broadway musical will highlight the Oregon Straw Hat Players’ 2026 season as our Summer Show.

Damn Yankees follows disgruntled, middle-aged baseball fan Joe Boyd, desperate for his hapless Washington Senators to finally beat the hated New York Yankees. When the devil appears as a slick-talking salesman and offers him a deal, Joe agrees to sell his soul for the opportunity to become Joe Hardy, a young phenom who joins the Senators and rallies them to the final game of the season – with the pennant and his soul on the line.

Damn Yankees is a treat for baseball fans, but also a battle between good and evil, fidelity and temptation, and honesty and deception. It is a quintessential 1950s musical, with memorable characters, big dance numbers, earnest heroes, a sexy seductress, and classic songs like “(You Gotta Have) Heart” and “Whatever Lola Wants.” Damn Yankees won seven Tony awards in 1955, including Best Musical.

The OSHP production will be directed by highly-regarded Madison-area performer and director Mickey Reynolds. There will be Six performances at the Oregon High School Performing Arts Center.

See our Calendar for Auditions, and Tech Days leading up to the performances. There are many ways to get involved in this wonderful classic musical.

We're happy to announce that we are adding Disney's Descendants: The Musical to our 2026 season, directed by Lexa Walker.

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original movies, the show is filled with familiar Disney characters and their teenaged offspring: Belle and her Beast, the Evil Queen, Snow White, Cruella De Vil, the Fairy Godmother and Jafar among them. It's a musical for the whole family, filled with comedy, adventure, some of your favorite heroes and villains, and the hit songs from the films. Stay tuned for more information about auditions and performances!
