Oak Park Festival Theatre And Open Door Theater Announce Co-Production Of I & YOU
by A.A. Cristi - Dec 20, 2018
One afternoon, Anthony arrives unexpectedly at classmate Caroline's door, bearing a beat-up copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, an urgent assignment from their English teacher. Homebound due to illness, Caroline hasn't been to school in months, but she is as quick and sardonic as Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular. As these two let down their guard and share their secrets, this seemingly mundane poetry project unlocks a much deeper mystery that has brought them together. I and You is an ode to youth, life, love, and the strange beauty of human connectedness.

Oak Park Festival Theatre Presents LOVE SPATS
by Stephi Wild - Jan 30, 2018
Shakespeare's most famous couples face off! Half a millennium before Lucy had some splainin' to do for Ricky, Sam butted heads with Diane and Harry met Sally, Shakespeare had already perfected one of the cornerstones of relationship comedies: the bickering couple. From the hilariously sharp-witted (and sharp-tongued) Katherine going toe to toe with husband-to-be Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew, to the befuddled lovers quartet in A Midsummer Night's Dream, these love spats feature some of the funniest, cleverest and nastiest barbs Shakespeare ever put to parchment.
