“I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was.” ~William Shakespeare

This past winter, the Travel Oregon staff had the opportunity to see four plays during opening weekend of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I have been to the festival two times before, and I have to say it gets better each year! This year, we saw “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Fences”, “The Clay Cart” and “Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter”.

The snow was just starting to melt when we entered into Ashland, and the town had a very crisp, wintery feel about it. We even lucked out and had clear weather the entire trip, which made walking through downtown and Lithia Park even more enjoyable. And the food! I can’t even describe how delicious Ashland’s restaurants are- if you don’t go anywhere else, you at least have to try Pasta Piatti (it’s in an adorable red building- you can’t miss it). Try their squash ravioli- it has biscotti pieces and a brown-butter sage sauce on top. It literally melts in your mouth.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Reviewed by Ashley Moran
Director: Mark Rucker
Angus Bowmer Theater
February 15-November 2, 2008

A Midsummer Night’s Dream was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, hands down. Set in modern times (1960’s-70’s), this play combined the perfect amount of humor, romance, and suspense. Hermia (played by Emily Sophia Knapp) and Lysander (played by Tasso Feldman) are two lovers who flee to the forest to get married. Little do they know, Oberon (played by Kevin Kenerly), king of the fairies, his queen Titania (played by Christine Albright) and messenger Puck (played by John Tufts) will be joining them. You will see what happens when Puck places the juice of a magic flower on Lysander’s eyelids while he sleeps. Be prepared for surprises, exquisite sets, and of course humor.

This play is not to be missed. It is full of disco dancing, singing, and even the appearance of a brightly-colored volkswagon bus. If you are ready to laugh, this play will have you doing so during its entirety. Not to mention the stylish, funky costumes. Let’s just say that ballerina tutus, army boots and mesh tops make one of the most fitting fashion statements (you’ll love them)!

Note: This play may not be appropriate for children under 10.

Fences is an inspiring story that pulls on your heart strings as it touches such subjects as race, hard work, and infidelity. The play is filled with extraordinary actors, including Troy Maxson, played by Charles Robinson. He does an excellent job portraying the struggles of the working world, and finding a balance between his family and his past beliefs.

Troy has a love for the game of baseball, and can be seen happily swinging his bat in front of his house throughout the play. His son Cory (played by Cameron Knight) has a similar love for the game of football, but Troy would rather have his son focus on work rather than games. Troy also has a second son, Lyons (played by Kevin Kenerly) who constantly makes an appearance during the play to ask his father for money. Troy’s brother Gabriel brings a great amount of innocence and a lighthearted feeling to the play. He recently returned from World War II with a metal plate in his head, and can be seen wandering the streets selling fruit and ridding the area of “hell hounds” with his trumpet.

This play is very easy to relate to, as it focuses so closely on family values, and the struggles many people encounter in their every day lives. I would recommend this play to everyone traveling to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Note: This play may contain strong language.

On February 23, my boyfriend Troy and I sauntered through the quaint streets of Ashland to attend our second-ever Oregon Shakespeare Festival play, “The Clay Cart”. We had seen “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” the evening before and were very excited to see what the creative crew at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) had in store for us this evening.

I’ve always been fascinated with history and “The Clay Cart” is approximately 2,000 years old. As rapt as I am with the past, I was worried the play wouldn’t hold our attention. As I’m sure you know from attending school, history can be tedious at times, it all depends on the teacher, or in this case, the director and cast (caste?). OSF’s new artistic director, Bill Rauch made his splashing directorial debut with this play and, I must say, he’d be a great teacher. From props to scenes to costumes to cast, every facet had us spellbound. I was also worried about being able to relate to the play in any way. I mean times have changed, right? Wrong. I know it’s a cliché, but it’s true–the more things change, the more they stay the same. This play was reminiscent of an ancient Sanskrit version of “Pretty Woman”. To boot, Rauch’s “Cart” was full of characters that reminded me of friends, foes and acquaintances in my own life.

“The Clay Cart” is a romantic comedy set amidst problematic political times. It’s a humorous depiction of money, relationships and political revolts that bring a commoner to the throne with an overall Shakespearean, “all’s well that ends well” conclusion.

Our hero, Cārudatta opens the play, lamenting his loss of money and thus, his friends. His one true friend, Maitreya, is by his side consoling his losses. Suddenly, the sounds of a woman in distress interrupts their male-bonding moment. Vasantasenā, our Julia Roberts of Sanskrit times, is running from the unwanted advances of the scoundrel Samsthānaka. She is saved by Cārudatta, Vasantasenā’s secret crush. She leaves her jewelry with him for “safe-keeping” and returns home, revealing to us her deep devotion to Cārudatta.
A series of comical events draw the two star-crossed lovers together, just as some bungled arrangements may force them apart forever. Will love prevail? Can friendships endure? In ancient Sanskrit, much as today, you’ll just have to see for yourself! If you’ve never been to OSF, you have to GO! If you have been, go to experience a piece of olden history in action. You’ll be surprised how much we have in common with our ancient predecessors.

They’ve apparently recently discovered that Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical, Oklahoma, was originally, going to be about Oregon. The story goes that at the last minute Oregon withdrew financial backing in favor of building a dam or a fish ladder or something, and Oklahoma was a hasty and awkward substitute. Here’s proof!

“My perfect date would include dinner at the Portland City Grill and an Oregon Ballet Theater show at the Keller Auditorium.”
~Submitted by Amy N.

“I would start with a fondue dinner (cheese to start and chocolate to end) with my husband at the Melting Pot before walking over to see a great live performance by the Portland Opera at the Ira Keller Auditorium. Then of course, our date would finish with coffee and a fabulous dessert at Papa Haydn’s (open late!) on Portland’s trendy NW 23rd Avenue! Since it would be late at this point and we would probably be too tired to drive the hour back home, we’d have to spend the night at Portland’s hip hotel, Ace Hotel. After sleeping in, we’d head to the Cadillac Café on NE Broadway for a breakfast of the custard French toast. Now that’s a date!”

“Northern Lights, a theater in Salem, offers a four course meal, dessert, and a bottle of wine while enjoying a movie. This year the movie playing is Stardust. It’s only $50 per couple. It’s a simple, romantic night out, but more for those wanting to keep it casual.”

The Tony Award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival was founded in 1935, and is one of the oldest and largest professional non-profit theatres in the nation. The staff at Travel Oregon recently spent a weekend in the beautiful town of Ashland, and had the opportunity to experience this amazing festival first hand. Courtesy of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, each of us had an opportunity to view four extraordinary plays, including “As You Like It”, “The Cherry Orchard”, “On the Razzle”, and “Rabbit Hole”. “The Cherry Orchard” was both directed and adapted by outgoing Artistic Director, Libby Appel. The Travel Oregon staff felt very fortunate to be present during Ms. Appel’s final season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

Read on to hear staff reviews on each of the four plays- and be sure to swing by the Shakespeare Festival- it is an experience unlike any other!

As You Like It by William Shakespeare Reviewed by Mo Sherifdeen
Director: J.R.Sullivan
Theater: Angus Bowmer Theatre
Performances: February 16 – October 28
Plot Summary

The magical restorative powers of the Forest of Arden along with the conventions of romantic love are the subjects of the visually engaging production of Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy “As You Like It”.

Director J.R. Sullivan does a masterful job of bringing together set design, lighting and sound to transpose the play into a depression era American story. The folksy-melodies (an original music score by John Tanner) that permeated the forest scenes were inspired by Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly and evokes a profound sense of hopefulness experienced by the characters who are trying to find themselves in the forest; it also speaks to the underlying optimism of the country going through the darkness of the depression. This sense of hope is also amplified by the elegant use of space – large sliding panels of oversized leaves emphasize the lush forest scenes in contrast to the sober emptiness of the set design of the court.

Of course the best production elements cannot make up for lackluster characters and most of the actors in this play are anything but that. David Kelly is as dynamic and hilarious as Touchstone while Brad Whitmore and Sarah Rutan where both solid and entertaining in their roles as Duke Frederic and Phoebe respectively. This particular night however, clearly belonged to Miriam Laube who is dazzling and commanding as Rosalind. She’s been with the festival for a few years now and I’ve seen her in the Winter’s Tale and The Philanderer and I am amazed by the depth of her performing ability and the graceful exuberance she brings to her characters.

The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov - Reviewed by Jessica & Mo Sherifdeen
Director: Libby Appel
Theater: Angus Bowmer Theatre
Performances: February 17 – July 8
Plot Summary

The Cherry Orchard was Anton Chekov’s final play—based in late 1800’s Russia as the serfs were freed and the influence of the aristocracy was waning—and is a reflective commentary on the end of an era and our ability to adapt to change. Despite the name, there is no “cherry orchard” in the set and the production takes place entirely “indoors” with the austere set design and dark lighting emphasizing and amplifying the themes of loss, loneliness and change felt by the characters.

While this play is often performed as a tragedy, Chekov intended it to be a “tragic-comedy” and this production maintains this intent while still realistically portraying the tumultuous emotions of its characters. It is noteworthy that there really isn’t an antagonist in this play and the actors portraying the major characters work well as an ensemble to portray the diverging points of view.

Almost every major character struggles with memories of the past and goes through cycles of self doubt and confusion drawing a real sense of empathy from the audience. While modern audiences probably connect more with the utopian idealism of Trofimov (the eternal student) or the pragmatic Lopakhin (former surf) and view Lyuba and Gayev as shallow characters who deserve to lose their orchard, you cannot but view them as victims of social change and feel Lyuba’s pain at seeing the place that she grew up in being sold and cut down for a “subdivision.” This emotional connection to the characters stays with you and follows you out of the theatre as you are left wondering what became of each of them as they leave the estate and go forth into a brave new world.

The play is one of two being directed this season by outgoing Artistic Director, Libby Appel and looking back at it, I cannot but wonder if its perhaps a fitting allegory on the change being experienced by the cast of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Whatever the subtext may be, the Cherry Orchard is one of the best executed and acted plays I’ve seen at the festival over the past three years.

On the Razzle by Tom Stoppard- Reviewed by Carole Astley
Director: Laird Williamson

Theater: Angus Bowmer Theatre
Performances: Feb 18 – Oct 28
Plot Summary

I had the pleasure (and I mean pleasure!) of seeing “On the Razzle” in my first-ever weekend of Shakespeare plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival opening weekend in February. We had been told how wonderful this play was, but until you really see it for yourself I don’t think you really ever believe it. I had seen several Shakespeare plays in the past including the wonderful outdoor Shakespeare in the Park plays in Portland, and frankly as much as I have enjoyed the experience of a Shakespeare play, it was sometimes hard to understand the actors and sometimes that meant you weren’t really sure what was going on.

Let me first say, that the experience of the top-notch actors in Ashland at the OSF was worth the drive from Salem (about 5 hours)! These actors were amazing and I could understand every word which meant I could easily follow what was going on! From my first play Friday night to my last play Sunday afternoon, it was a treat to experience this high level of theatre. These actors are of Tony Award-winning level and many famous actors have actually gotten their starts in Ashland…I can see why. This is “true” theatre and the talent levels are really amazing.

After a couple plays on Friday and Saturday (”As You Like It” and “Cherry Orchard”), we were ready for the infamous “On the Razzle”, of which we’d heard so much about. From the moment the lights went off and the set was unveiled, I was hooked! The playwright, Tom Stoppard, is known for his intellectual curiosity and depth, wit, clever puns and delight in the English language which meant that just about every sentence out of the actors’ mouths had a double meaning or made you pause to think about what they were really saying.

This play not only made you think, but made you laugh the whole way through. “On the Razzle” has truly mastered the “farce” or one could say they are the “Masters of the Farce!” (Farce: a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character). One example of this is instead of having the shopkeepers, Weinberl and Christopher, ride a bike or ride a horse to Vienna (probably two of the most popular ways to get around back then I’m guessing), they were on a horse that was actually a bike and then they rode it like a horse…you have to see this, it was hilarious!! Another fun thing about this play is that you’ll see some very similar scenes in the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. One scene “borrowed” from the play is when Ferris decides to jump in and join the parade, but there are many more…so you may want to watch this movie before seeing the play so you can have fun finding more similarities between the two.

An invaluable tip you must know before you take your seat at the theatre: Place your intermission food order before the play starts to avoid the really long lines! You’ll feel like a princess (or prince) walking up and having them hand you your glass of wine, cookie or snack while all the other play goers are standing in those long lines! I know because I was in those lines and was sneering at the smart folks who had pre-ordered. Never again!

Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire Reviewed by Ashley Moran
Director: James Edmondson
Theater: New Theater
Performances: Feb 22 – Jun 22
Plot Summary

David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Rabbit Hole” is a present-day tragedy, about the ways we each deal with grief. The story of this play begins with a couple grieving over the death of their son, who was hit by a car. The story evolves with various stages of grief (anger, frustration, sadness etc.) and also focuses on the ways people help one another through the various aspects of grief.

Becca (played by Robin Goodrin Nordli), does an excellent job of portraying a grieving mother. Her emotions are so intense, it feels as though she pulls you into the play, and you are going through the same tragedy along with her. Her facial expressions emphasize these emotions, and make the story she tells seem completely real.

Howie (played by Bill Geisslinger), does an equally fantastic job of portraying a grieving father. Each time he cries on set, I have to fight back my own tears. His character is very strong-willed, and goes out of his way as much as he possibly can to make his wife happy again.

Izzy (played by Tyler Layton), is Becca’s eccentric sister, who adds a great deal of humor to the play. She consistently asks her sister for advice, and grieves for her nephew by acting out in a child-like fashion.

This play also takes place in the 21st century, which is easy for the audience to relate to. The slang and costumes are also very modern- even the cuisine used on the set consists of items you would find in any American restaurant. Because these aspects bring the play closer to home, it has affected me on a deeper emotional level.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a once in a lifetime experience, and we strongly encourage anyone and everyone to visit!

I spent this past Saturday night partaking in the wacky world of FROGZ at Salem’s Historic Elsinore Theatre . The production was produced by Imago Theater in Portland and has been on Broadway twice. This was the third time it has been in Salem, and the first time in 5 years.

This play was a great theatrical event, suitable for the whole family. The varied program provided nearly two action packed hours of fun. It started out with three performers doing acrobatics in stretchy green suits and detailed frog masks. I was amazed at how realistic they made the creatures.

Next was a skit called “Alligators & Lizards” featuring gators & Gila monsters with glowing red eyes, rolling and frolicking about on stage. My favorite part was called “Strings.” The performers used a black light, rubber-band like strings, and a white shirt to create blue flames and undulating waves of light that flitted and skittered across the stage to a musical score. The protean blue “whatchamacallits” floating here and there were simply breathtaking. The evening was rounded out with many other visual treats including a huge paper bag (10 feet plus) that miraculously came to life, penguins playing musical chairs, an acrobatic larva (the performer’s feet were forelegs and head and torso was a tail), dancing orbs and playful accordions.

FROGZ was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night. I would encourage everyone to venture to a production next time they get the chance. For more information on Frogz, please visit the Imago Theater .

When you work for a fun company, it sometimes comes with perks where you get to do fun things you wouldn’t normally do. Such as being a Haiku Hottie. Dressed like a Pirate Wench during the Holiday Party Season. During gale force winds and sideways sheets of rain.

For the uninitiated, Haiku Hotties are Live Wire’s ushers/program hander-outers/haiku form distributors. Since it’s a radio show with a costumer, we had to look the part. In keeping with the holiday spirit, our costume theme was “The Naughty and The Nice.” For some reason, we only had one “Nice” – Noreen, our angel. Our group was rounded out with a Madame, an inmate and a bad, bad elf. Our fabulous costumes came from Salem’s Lil’ Gipsy Vintage Boutique. Check it out at http://www.lilgypsy.com/

This show had it all – swamp funk (yeah, you right), cookery, Yiddish lessons, New Year’s resolutions, flavored gin and a 6′9″ comic book super hero.

And then there was Storm.

If you aren’t a reality show tv-aholic or a regular at Dante’s, you may not know of Portland’s own Rock Star. Storm Large took Tommy Lee and the rest of the nation by, uh, storm, nearly running away with the title. She just rolled in from Iceland and crooned several songs and even had one of the Faces For Radio theatre troupe gush in a letter about how he was her biggest fan. One of our co-workers also has a rather large crush on Storm, putting news articles and photos on the back of his office door, affectionately known as “the storm door”.

To experience this Storminess for yourself, tune into OPB Radio on December 23 to hear the show.

I arrived at the Keller Auditorium in Portland on Sunday afternoon- which is a wonderful venue, because there’s not a bad seat in the house- and enjoyed an afternoon full of exquisite dancing and a heartfelt story. I was incredibly impressed by the set design of this particular Nutcracker, as it was very intricate. As the children peered through the front door of the house on this set, you could see through it and gaze at the brightly-colored Christmas tree, as well as all the contents of the house. This show also incorporated a tiny yet extravagent boat, which transported the children to and from their dreamland. Not to mention, snow! At least a dozen dancers floated through snowflakes during one portion of the show, which was very impressive. The costumes were gorgeous as well. Many incorporated flowy skirts with brightly colored sequins and sparkles, in addition to the traditional tutu (of course).

I think my favorite part of this show was watching the faces of all the guests as they left the auditorium. All the children, decked out in their holiday gear, were beaming. They even seemed to have an extra sparkle in their eye. The adults also seemed to be enchanted, they looked as though they had been transported back to childhood, just for a moment, and remembered what it had been like to dream of dancing candy canes and toys coming to life. Because of this, I believe the Nutcracker was the perfect addition to my holiday celebration.

Happy Holidays!

Some say it is “Fresh Air” meets “The Partridge Family,” but “without the bus.” The show’s characters say that it’s not just a show it’s a “happening.” It’s a place where you can expect sightings of radical cheerleaders, audience members dressed as giant evil bunnies and on-air head shavings! I bet you’re curious now! What ever it may be, we can tell you that it’s a refreshing radio variety show featuring “music, scintillating conversations, sketch comedy and performances from the famous and fascinating to the unknown and unabashed.” Our own Carina (she works in our operations dept.) hit the road last week to find out what Live Wire! was all about. Here is her report.

Carina on Live Wire:
On Thursday, October 12, I had the pleasure of being part of the audience at a taping of the OPB Radio show Live Wire! It was a blast! I screamed. I laughed. I even cried. I clapped so hard my hands stung!

The skits about life, love, and our bountiful Oregon were witty and well delivered. My favorite was one about the many gourmet foods of Oregon. Someday, I’d like to taste crème brulè with hazelnut sauce and wash it down with a glass of Pinot Noir.

The interviews and readings from several talented local artists made me want to run out and experience the Oregon they spoke about.

The musical talent was superb. Jen Bernard, Little Sue, Dirty Martini and Ralph Huntley & the Muttonchops rocked the house.

To experience it yourself be sure and tune in to OPB Radio on October 28 and November 2 at 8pm.

With just two weeks left of the 2006 season, I recently e-mailed the communications team at the Shakespeare Festival for their impressions of this season and what to expect next season. Here’s what Amy Richard, the Media Relations Manager at the OSF had to say:

Amy, what has surprised you the most about the 2006 season?
We expected full houses for the outdoor productions (The Merry Wives of Windsor, Cyrano de Bergerac and The Two Gentlemen of Verona), but we didn’t anticipate that we’d have the enthusiastic response that we did in all three theaters. Tickets to a number of performances in the New Theatre and Angus Bowmer Theatre have not been easy to secure. Shakespeare’s King John is running at 94% of capacity (with two weeks to go) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is currently at 97%. That’s great!

What can audiences expect next year?
An entertaining mix of plays…four of Shakespeare’s greatest hits will be staged (As You Like It, The Tempest, The Taming of the Shrew & Romeo and Juliet), three comic classics (On the Razzle, The Cherry Orchard [yes, Chekhov called it a comedy!] and Tartuffe), and four dramatic contemporary plays (Rabbit Hole, Gem of the Ocean, Tracy’s Tiger [new musical!] and Distracted).

The festival recently named a new artistic director, Bill Rauch. What can you tell us about Mr. Rauch?
I can tell you that he’s a talented, passionate artist and a fabulous human being. Bill has directed five productions at OSF, and the company is thrilled (and I’m not exaggerating!) about what he will bring to OSF. People can read more about him at this link: http://www.osfashland.org/news/artistic_director.aspx
