POPS is a non-profit, volunteer organization who's staff and participants are all dedicated to providing quality live theater to Okinawa.

We put on 4-5 shows a year. Show ideas are submitted and voted on in the Summer by members of the club (but, if you are willing to be the director, your submission will probably be approved).

All money raised is used to put on more shows and annually award an
Ed Kirstein Memorial Scholarship
to deserving High School seniors who wish to pursue "the arts" in college.

Bring your ideas. Bring your friends. Bring your enthusiasm to Okinawa's Community Theater!  POPs.

If you want to become a member of POPs just download the membership form , fill it out, then:
--Bring it to the next POPs monthly meeting. Get a cookie, maybe win a prize.
Or Bring it to the next POPs production. Meet the cast and crew. Get a tour.
Or Bring it to a rehearsal. We are at the theater (when we can) after 6pm.
(It is baffling why it's so hard for the only performing arts group to get time in the only Performing Arts Auditorium!)
You can volunteer to help with the show!
But DON'T just send it to us. Bring it yourself. We want to MEET you!

 Much of the tech stuff (set, lights, sound, props, ect.) has fallen onto the backs of the same (too few) dedicated volunteers. Be a part of the most important & exciting aspect of any production (sorry actors, it's true!). Set construction, Stage effects, Sound effects, Microphone/Speaker placement, Lighting effects, Fog/smoke, Custom built props...  Making magic takes talent, craft and teamwork. Not sure how? We happily train newbies.

Membership Details
and directions to the theater

Everyone is welcome!

Our "permanent" light guy for the last 6.5 years is burnt out on lighting plays and will be pursuing other interests next season. If you would like to be a light techie (one of many, hopefully) and work (play, really) with a state-of-the-art lighting system for POPs, please contact

Training will be provided.

The 2008 Children's Theater Workshop was a great success!
Kids & Dancing & Kids & Makeup & Kids & Props & Kids & Lights & Kids & Music!
The Lion King number they performed at the end was great!
