Welcome to Oh, My Stars! Productions
Oh, My Stars! Productions is a LGBTQ+ focused performance troupe, but everyone is welcome! Dedicated to the preservation of camp & drag performance styles in scripted theatrical productions in the Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas.
​
OMS!P was created by Scott Albert Bennett (a.k.a. Taffeta Darling... if you get the 'Young Frankenstein' reference...), who has been doing theatre since... *ahem*...let's just say their teen years... and has a BA in Theatre from UW-Stevens Point & an MFA in Acting from UW-Madison. Scott has been a voice/acting TA at UW-Madison, a director/teacher for CTM summer drama school, and has served on several local theatre boards - as VP of StageQ & President of Strollers Theatre Ltd.
After years of traveling to other Midwest cities and attending campy-fun theatrical productions featuring drag & genderfluid casting, Scott thought, "Golly gee, I wish we had something like that here in Madison.... *light bulb*... Hey! I should do it!"
(time-lapse thought process there)
The first two OMS!P shows were co-productions. Scott appeared as Nicodemus Underwood / Lady Enid Hillcrest / Alcazar in Charles Ludlam's The Mystery of Irma Vep in October 2023, a co-production with OMS!P and Strollers Theatre (now known as Madison Public Theatre). Next, Scott directed Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song in February 2024, a co-production with OMS!P and StageQ, Madison's Queer Theatre. In January 2025, OMS!P's inaugural solo production - The Stops by Eric Lane Barnes & Drew Emery will debut at The Bartell Theatre just off "The Square" in downtown Madison!
