About

The Oberlin Summer Theater Festival (OSTF) mission is to serve Lorain County and the larger northeastern Ohio community by presenting free productions of meaningful, high-quality theater classics. Those of us in OSTF believe that attending live, professional theater should be available to everyone in the community, regardless of age or socio-economic background.

We are able to continue to provide excellent, accessible theater for the community thanks in large part to the generosity of our donors. A generous supporter of OSTF has offered to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 from June 16 through June 30, 2017. Please consider making a contribution so we can help reach our goal, which give us a strong start to our fundraising for this and future seasons!

For the 2017 season, OSTF will be proudly performing: 

The Miracle Worker (June 16–July 30)

 Barefoot in the Park (June 30–July 28) 

The Winter's Tale (July 14–July 29). 

We hope you can make it! See more at: www.oberlinsummertheaterfestival.com
