The Oswego Playhouse

 

The Oswego Playhouse
The Oswego Playhouse is an all volunteer community theatre which currently makes its home in the historic Little White School Museum in downtown Oswego . Since it's beginning in 2002, there has been a full season of comedies and dramas for all tastes. In 2004 the Playhouse performed "Village Wooing" by G.B. Shaw, "Plaza Suite" by Neil Simon, and the Pulitzer Prize winning "The Gin Game". A summer festival was also held featuring classic radio shows such as "Rebecca" and "The Shadow". Every year is ended with a December Holiday show for children of all ages. Other special events are also held throughout the year such as "Tea with Dr. Watson" which celebrates Halloween. Daina Giesler is the Artistic Director of the Oswego Playhouse. For tickets call (630) 554-3618.

 

The Little White School Museum

 

The Little White School Museum
The Little White School Museum, now an Oswego landmark, was built in 1850 as a Methodist-Episcopal Church on a triangular parcel at Jackson and Polk streets.

The building was used over the years not only as a church, but also as a one-room school house and a storage space. In 1975, the Oswegoland Heritage Association was established to preserve the building, restore it, and establish a community museum. In 1983, the building's third classroom was renovated into a community museum. In 1991, the heritage association began work towards opening a community research and archives area in the building's basement. In 2002, nearly a quarter century after it began, restoration was substantially completed.

Today, not only has the building become a community landmark, but it also houses the Oswego area's community archives and collection of historical artifacts. Community organizations hold meetings in the restored building; it is the site of Oswego Playhouse productions; and the heritage association hosts fall and spring lecture series there annually. The building is also the site of events during Oswego 's annual PrairieFest summer celebration and the Oswego Christmas Walk.

The community museum is open Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Thursdays and Fridays, 1-4 p.m.; Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m. The museum's archives and research area is open Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon.

For more information on the museum, call 630-554-2999 or send an e-mail to info@littlewhiteschoolmuseum.org.
