Work with the Green Show

Bring your talents to our outdoor community stage.

The Green Show is a free, family friendly, outdoor performance venue that runs from June to September and features different acts Wednesday to Saturday evenings, prior to the nightly plays from May 31, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

We program with the goals of balance, diversity and representation, and excellence. We also program with thoughts of connection to our community, our audience, and our plays on stage. At OSF, we believe the inclusion of a diversity of people, ideas and cultures enriches both our insights into the work we present on stage and our relationships with each other.

Questions Frequently Asked by Performer Applicants
Does the Green Show financially compensate artists?
YES! The Oregon Shakespeare Festival compensates artists. The compensation will be negotiated with performers once we determine if there is a match in schedule and material.

Instead of following the submission guidelines can I just call and tell you about my show?
The submission guidelines were created to make sure we receive materials in a consistent format, so we must receive a submission from you in order to consider your act.

Should I submit idea A or B?
Submit both if you have passion for both! We build our season from what you submit. We might use A, we might use B, we might use both A and B.

How long should my show be and when can I perform with you?
The Green Show runs Wednesday to Saturday evenings, at 6:45pm, from June to September. Your performance length should be 35-40 minutes.

Are you looking for people to perform for the whole season or only one month?
Local performers are generally offered 1 to 3 performances throughout the season, while out-of-town guests are generally offered 1 to 2 performances during the same week.

Does OSF provide lodging for out-of-town performers?
Yes.

I am a storyteller, action painter, performance artist, etc. I heard you were more interested in musicians, dancers, and jugglers. Should I submit to the Green Show?
The limitations for our performance venue are:
  • All performances must be family friendly (no nudity, no strong sexual content, no obscene language)
  • We are not able to accommodate special lighting as our performances are held daylight for most of our season
  • We do not have aerial rigging capabilities with our current structure for aerial acrobats
