Item Description

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a major theatre arts organization, offering a diversity of plays as well as events and activities to enhance your overall experience.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a not-for-profit professional theatre founded in 1935. Our season runs from February through early November, and we have three theatres: our two indoor stages, the Angus Bowmer Theatre and the Thomas Theatre, and our flagship outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre, which opens in early June and runs through mid-October. OSF offers 11 different plays that include three or four by Shakespeare and seven by other classic writers, as well as modern and contemporary work and world premieres. When you visit you can see one or two plays or up to nine plays in one week!

"Inspired by Shakespeare's work and the cultural richness of the United States, we reveal our collective humanity through illuminating interpretations of new and classic plays, deepened by the kaleidoscope of rotating repertory."

Located in Southern Oregon, in Ashland to be precise, OSF is proud to be a part of the Oregon theatre community. For many years OSF performed only Shakespearean productions. In fact, there was only one theatre, the Elizabethan Stage (three different buildings: 1935, 1947, 1959). With the opening of the Angus Bowmer Theatre in 1970 and the Black Swan in 1977 OSF was able to extend the length of our season into the spring and fall, and also expand its repertoire to include other classic playwrights, as well as contemporary and new work. The Thomas Theatre (formerly New Theatre) opened in 2002 to replace the Black Swan. OSF prides itself on offering a diversity of experiences that intends to feel like a Festival event. Once you're on campus, particularly in the summer, you can experience not only a number of plays, but also backstage tours, park talks, lectures, classes, workshops, pre- and post-show conversations, a free Green Show before the evening shows from June through October. These are all offered to enhance your play-going experience. 

Proud to be a part of the Oregon theatre community, OSF is located in Ashland, Oregon.
