St. John's Conservatory Theater (SJCT) was a not-for-profit theater company at the St. John's Episcopal Church in Ogdensburg, NY.

History

[edit]

In 2014, Michael A. O'Donnell, St. John's Church rector invited his brother Richard O'Donnell, who founded several theatre companies including New Age Vaudeville, The New Variety, and the Black Pearl Cabaret, to produce and create a theatre in the St. John's Parish Hall located on the corner of Knox and Franklin, Ogdensburg, NY.

Richard O'Donnell (principal founder)[1] then recruited several church members including Stephen Chambers, Angela Dwyer, Christopher Dwyer, and Ryan Woodard (along with Michael O'Donnell, accredited as co-founder) to mount the first production.

R. O'Donnell initially produced, wrote and directed a readers theater-style interactive show titled Alice Isn't All There which eventually developed into full-scale musical comedy productions.

He continued producing at the St. John's Parish Theater until June 2017 where productions were relocated to the all-digital 900+ seat George Hall Auditorium – OFA, 1100 State Street, Ogdensburg, NY.[2]

The theater officially closed in 2019.

Theatrical Genre

[edit]

St. John's Conservatory Theater's theatrical genres include musical theatre, satire, interactive theatre, improvisational theatre, variety show, circus, and vaudeville. St. John's Conservatory Theater incorporates these genres in all-original musical comedies written by Richard O'Donnell and based on literature, folklore, and legend. Their production and costume design are "reminiscent of Tim Burton’s Gothic ingenuity."[3] Adaptations such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, A Christmas Carol, and Oliver Twist have been presented as well as folklore such as the musical Orchard Of Hide & Seek, based on the Celtic Folk Tales of the 1800s.[4]

Digital Orchestrations

[edit]

St. John's Conservatory Theater takes the composer's score and produces a digital orchestration that is played over a complex sound system. The cast then sing to the score to great effect in front of a live audience.[5]

The digital orchestrations emulate the instrumental sounds of a full orchestra, often adding sound effects and vocal enhancements, as well.[6]
