Peter Andersen/Oak Park Festival Theatre

Peter Andersen/Oak Park Festival Theatre

Oak Park Festival Theatre (OPFT) has commissioned playwright Beth Hyland to create a theatrical adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s In Our Time. With Hemingway’s early works now in the public domain, this project celebrates his legacy, especially since Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. OPFT is dedicated to telling stories that excite and engage our community, and we believe this adaptation will bring our audience together in a meaningful way. Beth Hyland, a playwright deeply connected to the Chicago theatre community, brings her unique voice to this adaptation of Hemingway's collection of short stories.
