OSF 2021 Summer Concert Series

“We couldn’t be more excited to open our beautiful Allen Elizabethan Theatre this summer. Our theatres closed on March 12th of 2020, and we have all been yearning for live theatre since then. As the vaccine circumstances in our country, state, and county have improved, we feel now is the time to welcome our audiences back to OSF.” —David Schmitz, Executive Director

This summer, OSF returns with Cheryl L. West’s Fannie: The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer, starring Greta Oglesby. This electrifying, immersive call to action is inspired by the life of famed civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer—whose grit, humor, and courage in the face of fire remind us that there’s hope in tomorrow and we all have a stake in our country. July 1 – October 9, 2021, in the Allen Elizabethan Theatre.
