The Oregon Shakespeare Festival
Where There's a Will, There's a Play
By Johanthon Allen
On top of performing in multiple plays throughout the week, the Festival's cast and support crew must also prepare for the next season by auditioning, rehearsing, making costumes, and plotting technical elements.
"It is always a thrill to put together a new season" says Appel. "For 2001 we tried to take into consideration a variety of theatrical styles and select plays that will engage our audiences on many levels."
OSF's 2001 lineup is a distinctive mix of classic and contemporary plays including the Bard's final work, The Tempest, as well as Merchant of Venice, Troilus and Cressida and The Merry Wives of Windsor. The Bowmer theatre will host Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters; the west coast premier of Life is a Dream by Pedro Calderon de la Barca; and a play written by Anna Deavere Smith, called Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, to be presented by an eight woman ensemble. The Black Swan will host two new plays: David Lindsay-Abaire's Off-Broadway hit, Fuddy Meers and Nilo Cruz's Two Sisters and a Piano.
Reservations for lodging and Festival shows are highly recommended. More information is available at their Web site at http://www.osfashland.org/index.aspx.
