About this event
Original Practice Shakespeare Festival (OPS Fest) is a professional theater company committed to bringing Shakespeare for free to audiences using unrehearsed performance techniques from Shakespeare’s time and creatively using gender-, color-, differently abled-, size- and age-conscious casting.
OPS Fest brings no-cost repertory Shakespeare to parks and venues all over the Portland Metro area. The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter.
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.
