Farewell, 2014 Season
|
“Gentle breath of yours my sails
Must fill, or else my project fails,
Which was to please.” –The Tempest, Act V, EpilogueThe curtain fell last weekend on a spectacular season of Shakespeare, classics, musicals and new works—a season made all the more glorious by the added bonuses of our new state-of-the-art production building in Talent and our first commission to open on Broadway (and win a Tony Award!). We owe a huge debt of gratitude to you, our audience members, for buoying our performers—and all of us here at OSF—through these many months and for demonstrating such strong support at the box office and through your enthusiastic word of mouth. What stood out for you on our stages in 2014? What do you most eagerly anticipate in 2015? Please share your thoughts, photos, memories and hopes with us—and keep an eye on what’s happening here on the Bricks in the off-season—via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. |

| Out with the Old… |
| …in with the, well, old and new. Guys and Dolls, are you ready to join Pericles on an epic Long Day’s Journey into Peach Blossom Land? Pardon the corny word play, but we can’t help but make Much Ado of our 2015 playbill, which offers up everything from the epic adventure of The Count of Monte Cristo and Antony and Cleopatra, to the opportunity to be among the first to feast eyes upon the world premieres of Fingersmith, Head Over Heels and Sweat, to the satisfaction of a seeing the conclusion of a family’s stirring story in The Happiest Song Plays Last.Ticket presale for members runs November 7-30, and we’ll begin processing ticket orders for non-members on December 1. In addition to the first crack at the best seats, membership entitles you to discounted tickets in the spring and fall, free refund and exchange privileges, opportunities for deeper engagement with our artists and more—all while providing OSF with the invaluable support we need to continue providing accessible, world-class theatrical experiences. Learn about membership here, and access presale tutorial videos as well as 2015 director interviews on our Youtube channel. |

Change is Coming to The Bricks
|
| Our project design team has come up with a couple of exciting potential ideas for our beloved but hard-used brick courtyard, and wants to know what you think. Join us for our second Bricks Renovation Public Meetingon November 17 at 7:00 p.m. in Carpenter Hall. There will be drawings to view and respond to, and the team will gather more comments to inform their work to select a preferred alternative and then develop schematic designs. The final concept will be made public early this winter, and we expect to break ground on the project about a year from now. |

Having completed its run at Wuzhen Festival in China, The White Snake will head to The Old Globe in San Diego in the spring of 2015. The near future also holds new mountings of The Unfortunates at American Conservatory Theatreand The Liquid Plain at Signature Theatre.Several OSF actors will appear in some of the aforementioned productions, and in other OSF acting company news: alum Ray Fisher will reportedly star in his very own superhero movie,Anthony Heald and Kathryn Meisle are currently performing in The Elephant Man on Broadway, Christopher Liam Moore (who returns to helm Long Day’s Journey Into Night next season) is directing Noël Coward Blithe Spirit at Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, and cult classic Twin Peaks, which featured OSF actors Kyle MacLachlan and Catherine E.
