I have had the pleasure of seeing Rod Oden's passion. vision, and work as actor, technical director, and designer bring artistic excellence on and off stage. He works tirelessly to improve his craft.

Instructor/Director, Big Rapids High School

Rod Oden has a great passion for theatrical arts, and I have had the great pleasure to work with him as a fellow actor, a director, a workshop leader, a set design artist, a theater carpenter, a lighting designer, a sound designer…and, well, just an overall superb technical director. Rod has a can-do attitude with an ability to solve some of the toughest production problems. No matter where he goes or what he does, he is an asset to be held in the highest regard.

Past President/Director, Actors Guild of Parkersburg

I've had the privilege of working with Rod Oden on a project for the last three years, and his energy, creativity, and knowledge continue to impress me. We do an "Arts Encounter" for at-risk middle school students, and he is an amazing educator.

Executive Director, Artsbridge (Parkersburg, WV)

Rod has been a valuable asset to our community since relocating here. Not only does he do exemplary work at the Actors' Guild of Parkersburg, but he has reached out to assist the arts in our area as well. My high school drama program is constantly benefitting from his expertise and advice.
