About OOP
Our Mission
At Out of Pocket productions we are creating a collective of artists, actors, writers, and directors to explore their pet projects and to bring them to life in the Dallas Metro Area.
Our History
Originally founded in 1997 to produce "Death of a Novelty Salesman" and 100% Recycled Comedy. Out of Pocket means literally out of original "Pocket Sandwich Theatre" came together a group of artists who wanted to work to produce their own creations. in 2009, Out of Pocket went dark and shut down. Fast forward to today-- we want to start by breathing some life into our "pet projects" again and welcome in others who would like to do the same. We all have a stack of plays and other projects we want to do-- so why not create a space where that can happen either as a workshop, staged reading or as a full-scale production.
Our Team
Come join us-- we will be creating a board of directors . Our founders are Chris-James Cognetta, and Bill Otstott. The board will guide the direction of the organization and work to raise funds for productions and activities. Out of Pocket Productions will soon be a 501 c 3 corporation.
