We visit more than 130 schools each year, connecting with over 80,000 students, teachers, families, and community members.
School Visit Program
Two-actor teams bring minimum props and maximum talent. They teach, perform and engage students in on-your-feet workshops. After discovering Shakespeare and the power of language, students are able to express themselves like never before.
School Visit Partnership Program
OSF supports underserved schools through a three-year commitment, including annual actor team residencies and teacher training at OSF. The finale is a field trip to the Festival that includes subsidized travel, tickets and workshops for scores of deserving students. It’s a program with profound and lasting returns.
Recipient of the Children's Theatre Foundation of America Citation and Medallion Award for its half-century of outreach to teachers and youth, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival enhances the power of live performance for more than 200,000 people every year.
