Ashland Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Calling all who love theater, inside and out! The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is NOT just Shakespeare! This spring, students will see three plays at the renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and one musical at the Oregon Cabaret Theater – all in the lovely town of Ashland, Oregon. We will attend workshops with actors of the company, a series of prologues for each play designed to inform and enhance the experience, a design workshop around sets, costuming, lighting, and sound, and a multi-media backstage tour. After each play, students will engage in vigorous discussions about the production’s themes, staging, acting, etc. This project will enhance your understanding of all aspects of theatre, including themes, characters, language of the plays, stagecraft and design, costuming, makeup, and the art and craft of acting.
