Tillamook County Library will host the Original Practice Shakespeare Festival at Maxwell Library Park adjacent to the Tillamook Main Library. There will be two performances. Romeo and Juliet will be performed on August 30th at 7 PM. Comedie of Errors will be performed on August 31st at 3PM. OPS Fest brings no-cost repertory Shakespeare to parks and venues in Oregon. The company uses the original practice techniques of Elizabethan England: limited rehearsal, scrolls in hand, audience interaction, and an onstage prompter. This is their 16th season of bringing Shakespeare to people in the parks.
This program is generously sponsored by the Tillamook County Library Foundation and the Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts. We look forward to two days of fun and theater in the park. This event is free of charge. The audience is welcome to arrive during the hour before to watch the pre-game song, dance, & fight rehearsals. Attendees are welcome to bring blankets and make themselves comfortable in the park. The library will also provide chairs.
