Oregon Shakespeare Festival
Founded in 1935, this eight month festival in charming Ashland, Oregon, features shows performed in repertory across three venues. Among the plays on the docket this season: the Lorraine Hansberry classic “A Raison in the Sun”; an adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma”; David Henry Hwang’s satirical “Yellow Face"; the rousing fact-based musical “Come From Away”; and the ever-fantastical “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
