Douglas Nottage is thrilled to be here to inspire a love of the arts in the next generation of children. He fondly recalls sitting in the audience as a much younger child right here at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Nottage is now a seventh-grade student at The Orange County School of the Arts. He loves musicals and has been in many productions. Some favorites include playing Oliver Twist in Oliver! at Irvine Valley College, Winthrop in The Music Man at San Clemente High School, and he is excited about his upcoming role in The Lightning Thief at The Laguna Playhouse.

Nottage has also received many awards for his classical piano playing and composing skills, and in his limited spare time, he plays baseball and participates in math and robotics competitions. Nottage deeply appreciates the time, expertise and care all the directors, performers, crew, and guests have devoted to The Great Outdoors!
