About Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park

President's Welcome

Dear Friends of OSP:

It is with pleasure that I welcome you back to our “HOME” – the beautiful Myriad Gardens water stage. We are happy to be back in this wonderful venue after a year hiatus. This 27th season is chocked full of entertainment and surprises in our refurbished home.

Artistic Director's Welcome

To those of us joining us for the very first time, I welcome you and hope you will find us everything you hope us to be. For those of you who have followed us hither and yon on our peripatetic odyssey, from Hafer Park to U.C.O. to the Water Stage, to Bicentennial Park and now back to the Water Stage again, I congratulate and thank you for your persistence, loyalty and patience. We cannot express our gratitude other than our pledge to do our best to honor you with equal devotion to our task.

Our History

Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park is the creation of executive producer Jack O’Meara and artistic director Kathryn Huey O’Meara McGill.

In July and August of 1985, Oklahoma theatre patrons enjoyed a first — free Shakespeare outdoors. The crowds began in small numbers in July for Twelfth Night and grew steadily larger each weekend, reaching 500 in number each night by the end of August’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In its first Summer, OSP entertained some 6,000 citizens.
