Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park (OSP) was founded in 1985 by executive producer Jack O’Meara and artistic director Kathryn Huey O’Meara McGill.

Jack and Kathryn felt strongly that Oklahoma deserved and could sustain a theater company devoted to the works of William Shakespeare and other great authors from the Western canon. They also believed that the outdoor productions enjoyed around the world would be just as popular in greater Oklahoma City.

Now, 40 years later, the company is nestled in the historic Paseo Arts District, with two theatres, and a thriving community of actors, technicians, and friends.

Help us honor Kathryn at this special once-in-a-lifetime event, including special performances from OSP alumni, and a buffet dinner in our beautiful Shakespeare Gardens.
