A Thousand Variations on a Lie Told Once

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 --work of a contemporary playwright which made it to the mainstage through the Oberon Originals Reading Series.

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!
