Artistic Director Bill Rauch also announced a plan to produce all 37 plays in William Shakespeare's canon over a 10-year period, from 2015 to 2024. To launch this initiative, the 2015 season, which is the festival's 80th, includes three Shakespeare plays, one in each of OSF's theaters. The Angus Bowmer Theatre will feature Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing"; Frank Loesser's "Guys and Dolls"; the world premiere of Alexa Junge's "Fingersmith"; "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land," a modern Chinese classic; and the world premiere of "Sweat," Nottage's look at American de-industrialization in the late 20th century. In the Thomas Theatre will be Shakespeare's "Pericles" and Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night." A third play will be announced later this spring. The outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre will play host to Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra"; the world premiere of Jeff Whitty's "Head Over Heels," a musical drawing on the Go-Go's catalog; and an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo." "Much Ado About Nothing" will be produced indoors for the first time at OSF. A director has yet to be announced. It runs from Feb. 20 to Nov. 1. "Guys and Dolls," with music and lyrics by Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, is a tale of gamblers, gangsters and the Save-a-Soul Mission.
