Friday July 14, 2023 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM - Women in Business Hosts Shakespeare

in the Park

Summertime means being outdoors! Women in Business cordially invites all members of the Chamber to join us for an evening for comedy, tragedy and Shakespeare in the Park. The Oak Park Festival Theatre has graciously offered a Chamber Night in Austin Gardens for Chamber members in good standing. A perk of being a Chamber member is the group ticket rate of only $20 per ticket. This is a preview night for the show and we are lucky to be invited!
