While the Oxford Community Center has actually had a special history of service for over 30 years, with a $3 million plus renovation just completed last year, the OCC has joined a number of community centers on the Eastern Shore identifying ways to develop new audiences and uses for their buildings. Leading the charge for a new role for Oxford is newly appointed director, Donna Dudley.
Donna talked to the Spy about the need to expand and diversify the OCC’s programs and revenue sources for the OCC, which started in 1982 with their long term partner and tenant the Tred Avon Players, as a community stage. She also talks about the need for strategic partnerships with other arts organizations and the unique future the center has in better serving the greater Talbot County region.
