Raisin was the first play written by an African American woman to hit the Broadway stage. Performances: Late February/early March 2004 (specific dates tba)

NEW BOX OFFICE LOCATION! We are fortunate to collaborate with Miami University Art Museum as our box office location for this year! Open daily during the school year, with ample parking and helpful volunteers, this is a convenient location for our Oxford and out-of-town patrons Please remember that our box office is run by volunteers, who need to take care of their primary business before attending to OxACT ticket sales. Please DO NOT phone the Art Museum to inquire about tickets--use the OxACT ticket line at 513-523-OACT (6228).
$A BUCK FOR THE ARTS$ Our new ticket prices, $10 adult and $8 senior/student, reflect an automatic donation to the Oxford Community Arts Center (OCAC).

WEB WOES We have been experiencing what we hope will be temporary difficulties with our original web address, oxact.org. It is a long, tangled story of corporate mismanagement and the convoluted subject of internet ethics and legality. In a nutshell, our former hosting company went out of business, and has refused to release control of their registered domain names. Even after our registration expired, the domain name has continued to be unavailable. We have established this new address, oxfordact.org, to maintain our web presence until we can re-register our much loved oxact.org domain. We regret any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused, and hope we will regain access to our original domain soon. |
