| We were fortunate that the local wildfires in Ashland didn’t cause performances to be cancelled as they had the prior week. Lucky for us, it kept the crowds away and wasn’t too smoky. What a delight to see the stars pop out while you’re enjoying a first class production. |

| Ashland is proud to have America’s first true Elizabethan theater. Thanks to a generous donation from Jo Lynn Allen (Microsoft Paul Allen’s sister), the outdoor theater is in fine shape. Oregon Shakespeare Festival is running eleven plays this season, in the outdoor and two indoor theaters. |
 |
| Wonderful production of “My Fair Lady”. Eliza Doolittle, did ’em proud, she did. |
 |
| Many people in town, including the Green Show performers, sported face masks for the smoke. The Green Show has morphed over the years, from dancers in Elizabethan costume to hip hop. |
 |
| Our favorite by far was “Robin Hood” (not remotely Shakespeare) where Maid Marion wore pants and held her own in sword fights. |
 |
| This year’s version of “Taming of the Shrew” was set in a non-traditional time period, but with the same dialogue. Set in an amusement park, with rockabilly music, it was a Jerry Lee Lewis meets Katy Perry mix that was interesting, but without chemistry. |
