Ozark Actors Theatre is an Equity[1] theater company in Rolla, Missouri[2] founded in 1987 by pianist Gail Andrews-Hintz and founding Artistic Director F. Reed Brown[3][4] with the help of actress Cindy Beger and her friend Kathy Pukas.[5] In 1993, The Cedar Street Playhouse became the home of Ozark Actors Theatre.[6][7] Ozark Actors Theatre quickly gained a reputation for doing quality theatrical productions, and drew acclaim in Missouri and nation wide.[8] In 2010 Jason Cannon became the artistic director,[9] and Pamela Reckamp took the position in 2015.[1]
