The Original Practice Shakespeare Festival performs using the same performance techniques as they did in Shakespeare’s own time, which means limited rehearsal; an onstage prompter; fast-paced, energetic acting; and lots and lots of audience interaction! This lends a much more immediate, organic, improvisational feel to the performances.

Performances at parks throughout the Portland area MOSTLY on Saturdays and Sundays,  at 2pm. See website for details!
