About Original Practice Shakespeare Festival:

OPS Fest brings FREE, family-friendly Shakespeare to parks 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/"referee." Gender fluid casting is our jam, and you'll never see the same show twice!

BYO chairs or blanket.

See our full season schedule here; various shows run through Aug. 29.
