Ashland, Oregon
Theatre in a town that lives for it
For a few seasons at the start of the 2010s, a local reviewer in Ashland, Oregon caught the town's theatre on the page — the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the small houses around it, and the actors, directors and designers who filled them. This archive keeps those notices and profiles within reach.
Ashland is a small town in southern Oregon with an unusually large theatre habit. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival has drawn audiences here since 1935, and a cluster of smaller companies — Camelot Theatre, the Oregon Cabaret Theatre, Ashland Contemporary Theatre — keeps the stages busy the rest of the year.
These pages gather the reviews and the artist profiles the way they first ran, rebuilt from the original site so the writing, and the links that point to it, keep landing somewhere real.
