Fun experience for the family…read more We went to the Angus Bowmer Theater for our second and last play during our visit to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland earlier this week. The theater is covered, and everyone was wearing masks, so we were comfortable throughout. They were selling souvenirs in the lobby, and we bought a couple of T-shirts and candy before the show started. We thoroughly enjoyed 'Once On This Island,' even though the musical was changed at the last minute to a recital as some of the performers came down with COVID. We will be back!

The Black Swan served as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's 3rd theater from 1977 to 2001. I was…read morehere sometime in the late 1980s when a friend's parents lived in Ashland and our gang would come up a weekend of revelry and theater. This Building was originally an automobile dealership, and was acquired in 1969 as a second-floor scene shop and first-floor rehearsal hall for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Company members began using it to stage "Midnight" readings for one another, and is a practice continued to this day. They invited friends who brought other friends, and the place became an underground hit. The Artistic Director at that time recognized the opportunity to take risks with unconventional staging and subjects, and called for its development as a third OSF theater. That was a challenge as the place could hold only 138 seats, all within five rows of the stage. That required a certain amount of "tucking and squeezing." Each director also had to solve the problem of an immovable roof support in the middle of the stage, which inevitably became an integral part of many plays. For example, in one scene, with a horizontal piece added, it became a painting of a crucifixion. The Black Swan reverted to its earlier roles as working space in 2002 when it was replaced by the New/Thomas Theater. In 2011 it also became the home for the Black Swan Lab, which serves as an incubator for new writers and cutting edge dramatic works. Each year, several OSF actors are assigned to the Lab as one of their three regular repertory assignments. One graduate of the Black Swan Lab that I particularly enjoyed during the 2012 Season was "All The Way".

Grand Experience @ Camelot Theatre in Talent, OR. !…read more What an Ensemble for the Hollywood Musical of City of Angels! Stellar performance from the 3 leading men: Zach Virden (Stone), Ryon Lane (Stine), and Connor Lomeli (Manny). My favorite scenes with these gentlemen were the fantastic duet of "You're Nothing Without Me" and the fun and catchy "All Ya Have To Do Is Wait". Shout out to Noah Fitterer for nailing an entertaining Mandrill ! As for the strong cast of women, the 3 standout performers were: Haley Jane Forsyth (Oolie/Donna), Kaitie Warner (Bobbi/Gabby), and Alyssa Hertzog (Mallory). The duet "What You Don't Know About Women" was absolutely phenomenal, "Lost and Found" excitingly seductive, and "You Can Always Count On Me" perfection. The Theatre itself was regal, staff was polite and helpful, and merchandise was available, including refreshments. Convenient bathroom location with multiple stalls. It was My Pleasure, Thank You!

It was performed at the Grizzly Peak Winery within a relatively small indoor "warehouse" venue and stared 2 noted OSF veterans (Michael Elich and Robin Goodrin Nordli). As afternoon performances of about 90 minutes are among our favorites, we not only stayed awake, but attentively enjoyed show. It was almost a full house and and enjoying a free glass of wine at the beginning was a nice touch. The Winery was just a short drive beyond Downtown Ashland. We'll be sure to check to RTC schedule before we return to Ashland on our next trip here.
