About Odesa Company

Odesa Company is an independent theatre staging and education company based in London, Ontario. We were founded on November 18, 2022 by Adam Smalley, Chris Smalley, and Scott Smalley. Odesa Company is a member of the Western Ontario Drama League (WODL) since 2024.

Our inaugural production was the definitive 1927 adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula", written by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. "Dracula" opened at the Palace Theatre to rave reviews on Friday, October 27th, 2023. It won two 2023-24 WODL Awards (best lighting and best visual production) with 9 nominations.

We've also worked with other theatre groups on build services and support, including Musical Theatre Productions (The Drowsy Chaperone, Big Fish), London Community Players (Kinky Boots), and Opera at Western University (ongoing; most recently The Magic Flute). Our Executive Director, Scott Smalley, serves on the Elgin Theatre Guild Board of Directors, and our Production Designer, Chris Smalley, is the lead carpenter at the Port Stanley Festival Theatre.

In our short history, we have gained a strong reputation in the community for the quality of our productions and set builds; our leadership committee is comprised of local theatre artists with a passion to support the growth of great theatre in the community.

I saw this show tonight, and it was brilliant! Bring at least one Kleenex. You’re going to need it! It is well worth the trip to St. Thomas to see it.

Excellent performance this afternoon. So moving and riveting! Don’t be surprised if you have tears in your eyes at some points, because the subject matter is so emotional. The actors are so professional and so amazing! This is a show not to be missed.

I just saw this play. The directors are phenomenal. The play is very powerful. The actor that played “The Elephant Man” was superb. His expressions with the words was brilliant. He captured the body movements of the Elephant Man [...] It is a must see!
