Story

Oklahoma
Shakespeare
in
the
Park
was
created
in
1985
to
provide
the
local
community,
the
state
and
Oklahoma
students
of
every
age
with
an
opportunity
to
view
Shakespeare
and
other
classic
authors
the
way
they
were
meant
to
be
experienced,
in
performance.


We
mount
a
full,
four
play
season
every
summer
at
the
Myriad
Gardens
Water
Stage
and
our
new
Theatre
on
Paseo,
along
with
a
Shakespeare
camp
for
kids.

During
the
school
year
we
produce
a
play
that
serves
the
purposes
of
our
teachers
and
offer
workshops
and
lectures
at
special
performances
for
this
group.
We
tour
productions
and
offer
residencies
and
workshops
to
schools
throughout
the
state.

We
strive
to
produce
bold,
re-­‐imagined

and
entertaining
interpretations
of
Shakespeare
and
the
classics,
so
that
everyone
regardless
of
cultural
circumstance
or
background,

can
experience
the
transformative
relevance
of
these
works
in
their
lives.

We
are
committed
to
promoting
the
highest
level
of
artistic
excellence,
to
cultivating
the
widest
possible
audience
and
to
enrich
ourselves
and
the
community
through
educational
outreach.
