REMINDER: Last Weekend for Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park’s Summer Season
All three productions to be featured
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park’s Inaugural Summer Season in downtown Oklahoma City comes to a dramatic close this weekend, with all three productions featured.
Patrons can catch A Midsummer Night’s Dream on Thursday, Cyrano de Bergerac on Friday, and Macbeth on Saturday. All shows begin at 8 p.m.
Impacted by unprecedented rainfall but offset by sell-out crowds, the theatre company’s inaugural summer season at the Myriad Gardens’ Water Stage has been wonderfully packed full of theatre-goers.
“Thanks to the amazing community support, OSP’s move to downtown Oklahoma City has been a tremendous success,” said David Holt, Board president. “We invite all Oklahomans to the dramatic close of our final summer-season weekend.”
Tickets may be reserved or purchased in advance by calling 405-235-3700 during regular business hours and are available at the box office during the nights of the performances beginning at 7 p.m.
This weekend’s schedule is as follows:
- A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Thursday, Aug. 30.
- Cyrano de Bergerac –Friday, Aug. 31.
- Macbeth – Saturday, Sept. 1.
Single summer season admission tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students, senior citizens and children 12 and under. Tickets are available at the box office on the night of performance beginning at 7 p.m. and all performances begin at 8 p.m. Group rates are available for 10 or more. For additional information, call 405-235-3700 or e-mail info@oklahomashakespeare.com.
