The Green Show
by orcoastgirl
There is free entertainment in Ashland in the summer before the plays, it is called The Green Show and offers very entertaining performers that play music and dance. Even tho we have not yet been to a play in Ashland, the Green Show has provided great entertainment during our overnight stays in the area before heading up to the northern Oregon coast. :)
Charming Ashland for quality theater

"First in Shakespeare"
Ashland can arguably claim to having the best Shakespearean Theater in the world, or at least outside of London. :)
The Shakespearean theater is compased of three stages. Most famous is the outdoor theater reminiscent of London and the original Shakespeare stages.
"Oregon Shakespeare Festival"
A beautfiul setting for summer nights and the Shakespeare Festival.
"Great Performances"
Many famous and soon to be famous actores can be found at the Ashland theaters. William Hurt and William Shatner are two that come to mind from years past.
Here is a scene from Othello, the wedding scene featuring Derrick Lee Weeden and Amy Cronise as Desdemona.
