Oberon Theatre Ensemble

A PERFECT DOZEN

Oberon's Summer Spectacular

Join us at the Midtown International Theatre Festival

Oberon is thrilled to announce its upcoming production of the Northeast premiere of:

A Thousand Variations on a Lie Told Once

By Stacey Lane.

Three estranged daughters return to their mother's home on Christmas Eve to meet her new beau and much more. In this serio-comic family drama the past isn't always what it seems and mending fences could finally bring the family down. Oh, yeah! Come celebrate Christmas in July with us and you will be in for a treat, frogs and all!

This is yet another Original production by Oberon as we strive to give contemporary playwrights a place for their voice to be heard. This play made it to the mainstage through the Oberon Originals Reading Series. Congratulations Walter!

Speak Up

After eleven years in the city, our Board is encouraging our voice to become ever louder. We encourage our entire community to help lead us to our next project, whether it be a play that could be off our radar, a writer who must be produced, or a chestnut whose time has come again, let us know what you think! Talk to us, post to the new Forum we've put on this website, or Email us. We are listening!

Winter Repertory Shows - Completed

For those of you who made it back to Theatre Row's Lion Theatre to enjoy our Winter Rep '08, we really appreciate your support. To those of you who participated in the productions either on stage or off, congratulations! Your commitment and fortitude are to be commended. You officially took part in our most ambitious season ever and our attendance kept pace with last season's record breaking performance. Well Done. Thank you very much!!!

Higher Sights
As we set our sights higher, our fundraising will increase accordingly. If you know organizations or individuals who appreciate our endeavors, please encourage them to donate to The Oberon Theatre Ensemble. Having fully produced over fifty productions in New York City, we remain in the black after 11 years. Hey, only one in three theatre companies makes it through their first year. That, in and of itself, shows incredible financial dexterity.

Again, thank you so much for your continued support!
