Off For Some Culcha
We’re flying off this morning to Ashland, Oregon for another dose of plays. We’re taking my Mom along, and staying through 7/3. Last year’s trip is chronicled in a category at the left. We’ll be seeing:
-
- The Philanderer - George Bernard Shaw
- Room Service - John Murry & Allen Boretz
- Richard III - Shakesbeer
- Doctor Faustus - Christopher Marlowe
- Love’s Labor’s Lost
- Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom - August Wilson
- Twelfth Night
- Napoli Milionaria! - Eduardo del Filipo
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival runs from February through November, but we have been going this last week of June for 12 years, and the weather has almost always been terrific. Our first exposure to the festival came when we accompanied a group from our son’s school, and we’ve been going every year since.
Our son is already down there with some friends, and we’ll hook up with him for some hiking and, probably, climbing. We’re hoping to make a trip to Crater Lake again this year, but we’ll check the snow level to make sure we can get around. There’s a lot of recreation to be had in the area.
My laptop’s poised, our lodging claims to have wireless broadband and I’ll report as often as I can.
