Seeing one show is a great experience. Seeing two plays is even better. Make the most of your trip to OSF and Ashland by adding additional plays, activities and events.

Overview

Join us throughout the season for a variety of Noon events!

Join us in the spring for lectures (discursos) or a Preface Plus in Carpenter Hall on Saturdays. In the summer you can join us on Wednesdays and Fridays, for lectures given by company artists and visiting scholars. On Thursdays, attend a Preface Plus, which is a longer version of the OSF Preface for specific plays, and on Saturdays, participate in panel discussions, demonstrations and on-your-feet workshops for the whole family.

During the summer on Tuesdays and Sundays we hold free Park Talks with company members and artists.

Please check back in May for a complete schedule.

All lectures and Preface Plus are held in Carpenter Hall at noon. Park Talks are held in the Bill Patton Garden at noon and are free.  Tickets are available online or at the Box Office. $10.00; $9.00 for members; $8.00 for youths (ages 6 – 17.) Please be on time.
