Who Is Tudor Guild?

Tudor Guild was established in 1948 as a volunteer organization with the purpose of providing financial support and service to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. In 1952 we were incorporated as a non-profit organization.

Profits from the operation of the Tudor Guild Gift Shop and sales counters for each of the three theatres go to support OSF’s annual budget. Our Board of Directors is elected from among our membership. The Board employs a General Manager for the gift shop. John Knoroski has held this position since 2000. He hires and supervises the paid staff.

Tudor Guild presently has a volunteer membership of over 180 women and men who worked a total of 16,538 hours during the 2006 season.
