Happy Giving Tuesday!!

OPS Fest proudly supports & is a home for marginalized populations. As we head into the next several years, queer and trans people will need safe places to be themselves. OPS is a haven for this community.

We bring no-cost repertory Shakespeare to parks and venues all over the Portland Metro area. We use the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter.
