Old Academy Players is thrilled to continue Old Academy Players at Home.

Through a partnership with ShowTix4U.com, Old Academy Players At Home has expanded our offerings to include pieces and performances that could not be shared on YouTube. These pieces will range in price from $5 to $25 depending on length and licensing costs. Once you’ve made a purchase you will be able to view the piece as many times as you like for 48 hours, on one device at a time. Free content will still be available on our YouTube channel.

Stay tuned for the next OLD ACADEMY PLAYERS AT HOME production!
