ABOUT OPS FEST:
OPS Fest is Back for a 17th Season!
ORIGINAL PRACTICE SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL (OPS Fest) is back in the parks for a 17th season! Come celebrate our seventeenth year of FREE Shakespeare, wild audience interaction, and onstage moments that are too good to be rehearsed with OPS Fest’s company of dynamic actors out in the Portland metro area’s beautiful parks (and beyond!). The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter.
OPS Fest performs its repertoire over the summer at 9 different parks in the Portland metro area and beyond! OPS Fest’s company of skilled, flexible actors will perform with occasional interruptions of songs, dances, and sketches throughout. Shows are free to attend and most begin at 7pm. The audience is welcome to arrive during the hour before to watch the pre-show song, dance, & fight rehearsals.
New this year: Shakespeare double features! On select Saturdays, OPS Fest is holding matinee performances of abridged versions of a selection of Shakespeare’s most well-loved plays, followed by full-length performances in the evening. These matinees are free to attend (just like the full-length shows!) and begin at 2pm.
OPS believes that Shakespeare’s work and characters benefit from exploration by a wide array of artists from different backgrounds and experiences. In this spirit, they actively seek out artists
of color, LGBTQ+ artists, artists with disabilities, as well as all gender identities, ages, and expressions of humanity!
