	CityBeat: Ashland Oregon Shakespeare Festival (2001-07-19)
		OSF surveys reveal that the 88 percent of the festival-goers travels more than 125 miles to see several shows, typically staying for a few days in one of the town's quaint bed and breakfasts or in one of several hotels.
		OSF's mission is "to create fresh and bold interpretations of classic and contemporary plays in repertory, shaped by the diversity of our American culture, using Shakespeare as our standard and inspiration." During my stay in Ashland, I saw three Shakespearean productions and three contemporary shows demonstrating OSF's application of this mission to recent plays.
		I have a feeling that OSF might benefit from additional outside energy, be that in the form of guest directors or occasional guest actors from outside their very fine acting company.

	Traveling Today: The Oregon Shakespeare Festival: Where There's A Will, There's A Play
		The Festival, as it's known by locals, started out 65 years ago in Ashland, Ore., when Angus Bowmer, a teacher at what is now Southern Oregon University, decided to create "America's first authentic Elizabethan theatre." Since then, OSF has gone on to become the second largest repertory theatre in the world.
		Inspired by similarities between sketches of William Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre, and the remaining walls of a torn down performance house in Ashland, Bowmer staged what he insisted be called "the first annual" Oregon Shakespeare Festival in July 1935.
		OSF designers use it for all it's worth, staging sensory-rich productions, and bringing to life those plays which are brilliant primarily for their simplicity.

		That pivotal moment still informs the decisions of the festival's current artistic director, Libby Appel, whose feisty assertion that the theater is no place for museum pieces has thrust OSF to the forefront of regional theater in America.
		Although William Shakespeare was decidedly a man of his day, his plays refuse to be bound by the confines of any one time or place.
		But when she was invited by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to direct a Pirandello play in 1988, Appel realized almost instantly that she was home.

		Such was the case in Ashland, Ore., on March 1, when the Oregon Shakespeare Festival opened both its eight-month season and its New Theatre, a replacement for the much-loved but technically limited Black Swan.
		Artistic Director Libby Appel made a bold choice in opening the New Theatre with Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Not only is the play associated with many theatrical superstitions, but Appel and dramaturg Lue Morgan Douthit have created a pared-down version that may cause consternation among purists.
		As Appel explains in her program notes, after the horrors of Sept. 11, she wanted to explore the mind of a murderer and to focus on several other questions such as why his wife would urge him on and what forces determine events after the first act of free will.

		Dating back to the Chautauqua movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which brought culture and entertainment to rural areas, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) is a well attended, award-winning theater company despite its location in a small town hundreds of miles from the closest big cities.
