"If money goes before then all ways do lie open"
(Ford, The Merry Wives of Windsor).
Entertainment, food, and beer is on the agenda, as well as honoring our loyal supporters!
We count on individual donors, sponsors, and grants to support our work of bringing Shakespeare to everyone, and our May 5th Fundraiser is our biggest one of the year. As a non-profit theatre, we have received support from Portland arts champion Ronni LaCroute, the Starseed Foundation, the Swinford Family Foundation, and the Many Horses Group.
Please join these friends and purchase a ticket ($15 advance, $20 at the door) or a table ($100, seats 6-8, and you choose your Shakespeare Play Table Theme!)
Drink some beer (or wine, or cider) or perhaps purchase some of our lovely silent auction items. How about hiring an actor to surprise your sweetie with a custom-written Shakes-A-Gram? You could get hungry for something sweet with our Dessert Table, Sponsor an Actor at our Paddle Raise, or just snack the night away at our nosh table.
Some folk may dress as their favorite Shakespeare character (period or modern), some may dress up, some may dress down. Your call!
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, so your donations are tax deductible.
Falstaff spoke true in saying, "Money is a good soldier and will on." Help us build a regiment and keep OPS Fest in the black this season!

In Shakespeare's Era, the audience knew the actors had not rehearsed and that the only context each had of the play was their own role on a scroll. The play was as fresh to the actors as the audience.
In our company, you'll NEVER see the same cast do the same play in the same way. We're dangerous like that. Original Practice Shakespeare players have a great talent for improv, making the Bard’s words not just relevant, but also bringing out the best lighter qualities of the script... this allows the audience and cast to work together, and the words to stand, as they can, on their own." |
