Never been to Ashland for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival?
Wanna go?
The famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival has announced its 2026 season, and you can now plan to go see an event.
Here is information from OSF (osfashland.org):
Each one of next year’s 10 productions represents a caliber of art that stays with you long after you leave the theatre, offering unbridled moments of connection, catharsis, and joy. They invite you to sit with loved ones and strangers alike, and be reminded of what becomes possible when we come together to share in the power of live theatre.
In the words of Artistic Director Tim Bond, “We come to theatre to experience hope — to see the resilience of the human spirit play out before our very eyes, and to witness what happens when we meet the moment.”
