The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), located in Ashland, OR, is a celebrated theater arts organization founded in 1935. Known for its rotating repertory season, OSF presents up to 10 plays and musicals from March through October, featuring not only Shakespeare but also classic and contemporary works. The festival has become a cultural gem, offering world-class performances with talented actors, artists, and directors. Visitors enjoy the unique experience of outdoor theater at the Allen Elizabethan Theatre, where audiences often bundle up with blankets and hot cocoa on chilly nights. With praise likening it to Broadway, OSF's productions are highly regarded and have even been showcased on Broadway and internationally. Recent seasons have been revitalized under new leadership, with exciting productions like "Much Ado About Nothing," "Macbeth," and the popular musical "Lizard Boy." OSF continues to receive community support and looks forward to celebrating its 90th Anniversary season, making it a must-visit destination for theater lovers.
Came here the 4th of July holiday and saw Julius Caesar with an all female cast. It was so good we decided to get last minute tickets to another play that night.
