Extraordinary theatre begins with a vision. Long before opening night, the artists, directors, designers, and creative leaders come together to imagine what a production can become. The Artistic Director’s Circle offers a unique opportunity to experience that journey from closer than ever before.
Created for those who want a deeper connection to the artists and ideas that shape each season, Artistic Director’s Circle membership offers opportunities to engage with OSF’s artistic leadership and gain insight into the creative decisions behind the work.
Through show sponsorship opportunities, the annual
Artistic Director’s Circle Dinner, rehearsal invitations, concierge ticketing, and exclusive gatherings throughout the year, you’ll experience the Festival from a uniquely informed perspective.
More than a membership, Artistic Director’s Circle is an invitation into the creative life of OSF, offering a deeper understanding of the vision, ambition, and artistry that define the Festival.
