A note from our Founder and Board President
Dear Friends of the Arts,
Thank you for visiting our website and I hope you will join us for the two performances at the Botanical Garden of Lisbon, in June and September 2025. And for our friends in Hudson, NY, please standby for the announcements regarding our Winter Children's Acting Classes, in association with The Hudson Eye.
For those of you considering donations, your gift will allow our unique ensemble, which includes people from every walk of life, to continue bringing William Shakespeare's works to communities in the US and EU. It will also support our educational wing, which provides free acting classes for children, and low-cost acting classes for adults.
The OPEN AIR SHAKESPEARE name is not only about performing in the open air, it is about being OPEN to people of every color, background, and economic level. It's about being OPEN to new interpretations of the text, OPEN to professional and amateur actors working together, OPEN to nontraditional casting, and being OPEN to unbridled and uncensored creativity. The people of Lisbon and our friends at the University of Lisbon who have hosted us at the Botanical Garden of Lisbon, have also been amazingly OPEN and supportive during our 4 past Shakespeare plays in the Botanical Garden, and our joyful band of revealers and I, are forever grateful.
Your generous gift will allow OAS to continue presenting the works of William Shakespeare to a wider audience. It will also allow us to introduce more young people to the works of William Shakespeare, and give them the priceless experience of performing on stage.
Happy New Year to all!!!
