“O” is exclamation, is surprise, like life, like theatre, and represents Olivia’s artistic pursuit.  “O” is a circle, like the infinite extension of the universe, symbolizing the impact of theatre.  “O” is like the full moon, representing union, signifying Olivia’s desire to connect souls with love and concern.
