THEOP developed from the original name: “The Deep River Theatre Operating Committee”. Now we’re officially just THEOP!
THEOP is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run group based in Deep River, Ontario that aims to enrich the local community by bringing to town professional, live entertainment – musical ensembles, theatre, dance, comedy, and more since 1957.
Deep River is set in the rural upper Ottawa valley about two hours’ drive North of the city of Ottawa. We hope that some of our upcoming events will catch your eye, and we are always glad to hear suggestions for artists you’d like to see.
We strive to make the most of talented artists visiting the area. Some artists offer workshops or master classes for local students.
For details about the season’s performances and/or tickets please contact theopdeepriver@gmail.com.
