Dear Friend,

Welcome to the Web site of Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park!

In 1985, Kathryn McGill and the late Jack O’Meara created something that for over two decades has entertained and enriched the lives of tens of thousand of Oklahomans - and not just through OSP’s annual summer and winter seasons and touring productions, but also through its educational outreach to students across Oklahoma.

This summer, we will be presenting our second season in downtown Oklahoma City. We were thrilled at our reception in 2007, and cannot wait to show you what we have in store for 2008!

A worthy endeavor like this could not be accomplished without the support of our Board, our staff, our Guild, and our generous donors, sponsors and partners. There are always opportunities to get involved with Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park, and if you are interested, I want to talk to you. Please feel free to contact me anytime at .

David Holt, OSP Board PresidentPlease enjoy exploring our Web site, and thank you for your time and interest!

All my best,

President, Board of Directors
