The Georgia
Shakespeare Festival, the professional theatre in residence
at Oglethorpe University, is a nationally recognized LORT D Theatre
(League of Regional Theatres). Dedicated to the production of the
works of William Shakespeare and other enduring authors, GSF
annually mounts a full summer repertory season, as well as a fall
production. With a 17-year history and one of the largest audience
bases of any theatre in the southeast, the Georgia Shakespeare
Festival enjoys a national notoriety that is both commercial and
critical.
The Playmakers/Oglethorpe University Theatre is Oglethorpe's
collegiate repertory company. Mounting a full season of 5
productions per year, the Playmakers is led by theatre faculty and
made up of student actors, designers, and technicians. The two
companies' interaction results in a dynamic environment that brings
students into constant contact with seasoned professionals, and even
allows for cross-pollination as OU students find opportunities to
participate directly with GSF.
