It's a Fringe Benefit

Ah, the Sixites!

The Fab Four, Twiggy, the mini dress, and the maxi fun.
It was a time for change, for doing your own thing, and a time for a comic revolution.

Let Oak Park Festival Theatre transport you back to 1960's London in honor of our spring production of Beyond the Fringe  - the hilarious, iconoclastic satirical revue that launched the Sixties British comic invasion

Attire: Get your groove on - dress in your best Sixties Chic Party Couture. Prizes for best costumes, yeah, baby!

The Evening's Celebration will be highlighted by the presentation of the Marion Karczmar Award to The Park District of Oak Park in recognition of more than three decades of extraordinary support.
