FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to tonight’s performance! We are so glad you decided to be with us tonight. Whether it is your first time, or you are a year-after-year seasoned subscriber, we love that you are here. Amazingly, Oak Park Festival Theatre is in its 39th season – Gerald Ford was President of the United States the summer that we were founded. In the world of professional theater, that is a long time for a company to survive - let alone prosper. Yet, we’re still here. Perhaps it is because our roots are in presenting the plays of William Shakespeare or maybe it is because we have created quality productions over the years. Well, one thing is for sure, it is because we have had fantastic support from the Oak Park area community. We couldn’t have made it all these years without the unstinting support of the Park District of Oak Park, Downtown Oak Park, the Oak Park Area Arts Council and the Village of Oak Park, among others. In addition, we are enormously grateful to the foundations that support us and, especially, the businesses of Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park and surrounding communities who support us through corporate contributions, program advertising and mutually supportive partnerships. This is how live theater stays live! Especially key to our existence, however, are all of you who show up for our performances and generously give to support our operations. Year after year, we are excited and thrilled to see familiar faces as well as new ones. After all, theater for us isn’t just for the actors or the stagehands. It is for the audiences – every one of you – who turn out to be moved and enlightened by Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me, or entertained and challenged by Seascape this spring, or this coming summer revel in the suspenseful grandeur of Amadeus, or simply lean back in beautiful Austin Gardens and laugh out loud at Twelfth Night, one of the Bard’s most beloved comedies. That is what gets us up early and sends us home late. To that end, we need your help to be here another thirty-nine years. If you truly like what you see, please tell your friends and family. Talk to Mary in the Box Office or Jessica, our House Manager, about becoming a season subscriber. Consider making a donation. To honor your faith in us, we will continue to produce some amazing theater. We will continue to pay tribute to Shakespeare’s classics and we will also deliver some contemporary ones as well. We will endeavor to ensure that you want to come back to see us – show after show after show. Thanks for all your support thus far, and we look forward to seeing you again soon – real soon! Brad A. Bartels President, Board of Directors Oak Park Festival Theatre
