Windows in Time: Chance and Choice: Significant Moments in OSF’s History w/ Amy Richard

Chance and Choice: Significant Moments in OSF’s History w/ Amy Richard

Through the years, a perennial question from journalists, researchers and chambers of commerce has been how OSF became one of the largest professional repertory theaters in the country. This talk will highlight some of the significant moments that advanced its growth and shifted its policies and practices, making it what it is today.

Amy Richard was the Media & Communications Manager at OSF for 20 years. She was responsible for the development, integration and implementation of a broad-based multimedia, social media, and communication plan that publicized and promoted OSF’s performances, events, and initiatives. She worked on a variety of special projects, including co-writing a history of OSF with then-archivist Kit Leary for OSF’s 75th anniversary season. The book was part of Arcadia Publishing’s Images in America series.
