OSF Green Show

Performances take place in the Festival courtyard (on the bricks!) before evening theatre performances, every night of the week but Monday.

7:15 p.m., June 1 - August 8

6:45 p.m., August 10 - October 10

The Green Show performances last approximately 35 minutes. Always bring a blanket to sit on as the grass can be wet at times. If you want to sit up front then you need to get there anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes ahead of time. We usually pack a picnic dinner, set out our blanket, eat and just when we have finished and the kids are getting restless, the show begins. 35 minutes of culture free to my family and community six nights a week? I'll take it!
