The cast and crew of any of their shows are phenomenal. Ive never been dissatisfied with any of the performances Ive watched. Their tickets are also reasonably priced. If you love live theater then definitely check them out!

Nothing less than phenomenal always.

Enjoyed watching both Hamlet and Measure for Measure. The players are fantastic. They take part in all aspects of the show, from building the set, sewing the costumes, creating the advertising, selling tickets and merchandise, performing both in the pre show and the main production... Im sure theres plenty more that Ive forgotten.Worth the price (plus the 4-hour round trip drive for my family)!

Great performance and in great space. She kills monsters was well done. A little hard to hear though.

Were just love the productions here! Tonight was Maid Marion and what fun! Come support professional theater in your home town a

Was there for the Three Musketeer final outdoor show on Sunday 8/12/18, it was a fantastic show. Fun for the young and old. My wife and I, and our friends thoroughly enjoyed the show. Highly recommend it if they happen to put on another performance. Were looking forward to see Treasure Island. Thank you for all of your hard work - the 5th Musketeer.

Enjoyed the play, and the historic Greystone Hall. Lots of parking nearby as well.

It was a good time. I will be back.

Tell others why you loved this place.

I went to a showing of Romeo and Juliet, and before the show even started, I was amazed by how much there was to look at in the scenic grounds, then once the show started, it only added to the experience with the true professionalism of every actor. Even the younger actors seemed fully committed to the roles, and happy to be doing it! It was a fantastic experience for me, and I’ll certainly do it again.

Good rep cast. Good shows.

Treasure Island was a great show with phenomenal acting. I hope to see dracula on opening night. Easy5/5!!

Wonderful shows for all ages.

Always fun. This troupe does a great job without being too serious. Stan Hywett is a wonderful venue.

Had an awesome time as always. Actually my very first time with Romeo and Juliet ever. What a memorable experience!

The best theater in the Akron Area.

OSF has something for absolutely everyone. The summer Shakespeare shows at Stan Hywet are fantastic - make sure youre there in time for the pre-show Green Show, which is always hilarious! Throughout the year, they put on other plays at a beautiful theater in Greystone Hall in downtown Akron, including plays for kids, musicals, and more. They clearly love what they do, and every performance is better than the last.

Was so wonderful to see such a great performance. Their first musical production. Camelot was spectacular!

Adore this place! One of three greens of Akron. Fantastic shows, excellent actor training.

A formal lounge provides entrance to the Theater’s main floor and stage.The theater company is acclaimed for its actors, directors, musicians, stage designers and costume makers. The audience is taken on a thrill ride of emotions and time travel that never fails to delight. Each play is staged for the enjoyment of people of every age from two to 100. Its renowned cast is just as splendid as any company in London, Toronto or New York. Each production is fresh and conveys topical themes that are resonant in contemporary life while simultaneously true to historical perspective. The comedies are a personal favorite; the cast is- and staging are- always exceptional.

Great performances.

From a new company member, OSF is always a good time. Excellent acting, personable people, a great place to work and a fantastic choice if you want to see quality live theatre.

This, to me is truly transporting theater. Ive been able to see performances at both their summer spot at Stan Hywet (those gardens, dinner alfresco before a show you guys!!) as well as at Greystone Hall in down town Akron, and each time the sheer passion for the work is infectious. The chemistry of the casts, the understanding of the piece, and the attention to detail- its the sorts of things that elevate theater to a true experience . ( not likely something easy to do with Shakespeare, I would think) I am always captivated by the choreography (or staging, rather), and then, theres the music. Oh, the music. I have cried laughing at some of the pieces they have performed, and they are damn fine musicians to boot. In all, OSF really creates a night that is unique, engaging and time ever so well spent.Most recently, their original production of The Three Musketeers was the most fun I have had in a theater, likely ever. True magic.

Loved it! A truly wonderful experience!

(Full Disclosure: Im an OSF company member.) A) This has been a great place to work, love my fellow company members, love the theatres (Greystone & Stan Hywet), a fantastic company to work for. B) When Im in the audience, I always know Im in for a great show. Come see for yourself...

Good local talent, great setting

Summer time fun, a real gem in the community!

Phenomenal show with moving perfomances!
