OAK PARK, IL — For the first time, the Oak Park Area is celebrating its world-class theater scene with Oak Park Theater Month. Presented by Visit Oak Park, the convention & visitor’s bureau for Oak Park and 18 neighboring communities in Western Cook County, the inaugural event takes place throughout the month of February 2018 and features seven discounted productions at six different venues.
“There’s an extraordinary assortment of theatrical offerings in Oak Park, Berwyn, River Forest, and our other neighboring communities. We wanted to present visitors and residents with the opportunity to sample a wide range of shows without the huge price tag,” said President/CEO of Visit Oak Park Sara Barnett.
Participants can view the schedule of performances offering discounted tickets and learn more about each show atwww.visitoakpark.com/oak-park-theater-month. Ticket purchase methods vary by theater and require the usage of promo code OPTM18 to unlock discounted tickets.
