2019 Season

Pay: Check about pay

Description:

Oak Park Festival Theatre is pleased to announce upcoming NON-EQUITY General Auditions for our 45th Season. Diversity and inclusion are guiding values in our work and the stories that we tell. ALL races, gender identities, sizes and ages are strongly encouraged to submit.

2019 SEASON: "O That I Were a Man…"
We are examining the role of gender in our lives more closely than ever before. What does it mean to be masculine or feminine --both, or neither? What limitations are there in being a woman...or a man? In the workplace and in our personal lives, we continue to ask: Who is stronger? Who is more trustworthy? How does each need the other? Oak Park Festival Theatre brings this conversation to the forefront with our 2019 Season.
