SUPPORT OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
Help us raise $20,000 by June 30th!
Since 1985, Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park has been Oklahoma’s leader in classical theatre. Each season for 41 years, we have done our best to entertain and educate, impacting hundreds of thousands of lives and creating countless memories, and we need your help!
The arts are vital for any community, and with your financial support, we can continue to showcase Shakespeare under the stars, new musicals, live comedy, dance, holiday plays, guest artists, and youth camps. Our enchanting Shakespeare Gardens is unique to Oklahoma City, gathering audiences to consider the classics under the summer stars, and our indoor theatre features a quaint 55-seat black box and the Mermaid Tavern, where guests can enjoy a cocktail and the fellowship of their friends in a cozy atmosphere.
And we need your help, our PATRONS, our CHEERLEADERS, and our FRIENDS!
Please consider a donation at any amount, either one time or recurring, grab a ticket to a show, visit us in The Historic Paseo Arts District, and join us for a play. In whatever way you choose to support, we treasure it.
What we can do with your support…
$25 Donation | With a gift of $25, Oklahoma Shakespeare can do more than you think! Every dollar is carefully managed, and often, a gift of $25 can buy a crown for King Henry, rent a sword for Prince Hamlet, or create a ring of flowers for Titania, Queen of the Fairies!
$50 Donation | $50 provides important resources such as costume rental and maintenance. A gift of this amount will outfit Benedick and Beatrice in their never-ending battle of wits and provide a beautiful wedding dress for Hero to marry Claudio.
$100 Donation | Recreating a Shakespearean setting can be time-consuming and expensive. We make every effort to conserve our expenses and do more with less, and a gift of $100 will buy a lot of lumber, screws, and glue to piece together the land of Illyria, or Prospero's famous island home.
$250 Donation | All the world's a stage, and that stage takes an army to fill it. Did you know that many of our productions employ more people backstage than on stage? With $250, Oklahoma Shakespeare can provide technical support for our performers, renting and purchasing lights for Elsinore castle, or eerie sounds for the haunted heaths of Scotland.
$500 Donation | Wow! You are thinking like a champion! A gift of $500 will support our creative team and might just help pay the electric bill, to boot!
$1000 Donation | A gift fit for a king! A donation of $1000 allows the staff of Oklahoma Shakespeare to expand our operations, purchase new equipment and services, and to focus on the things that are important - our mission to educate and entertain!
Any Amount | From $10 - $10,000, your contribution is essential to our operations. Did you know that ticket sales only account for a portion of the cost to operate a nonprofit theatre? Your ticket opens the doors, but your donation keeps the lights on!
Thank you for being part of our story. Please help us to keep telling it.
