I saw Angus Bowner play “Shylock” one of the summers my dad, Rod Alexander was acting and directing at OSF. Those summers were defining times of my entire life. There is nothing like Ashland - anywhere in the world. Angus started something wonderful it is sheer joy to see how it thrives. I’ll make it back someday. I hope soon.

Can't endorse this experience more enthusiastically. Ashland treats its guests like long lost friends, and you can get a feel for the period, the poetry and the infamous Shakespearian curse-out or double entendre! Whether you decide to see a modern play, an Elizabethan play or even something experimental or off the wall. You will learn and you will experience live performance.

Very nice piece! We are proud of OSF and the arts culture (Britt Festival, TMTO, Rogue Symphony, Cabaret Theater, etc.) here in Southern Oregon.
