  • Working at Osf
    1 Welcome to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 2019 season! We hope you are as excited to join our OSF Company as we are to be a part of it ourselves. If you have not worked here before, we encourage you to learn as much as you can about the company before you begin by reading this welcome information. If you are returning to OSF, please take the time to review this information as the details can change from season to season. Please also visit our website, www.osfashland.org, which has a wealth of information about OSF and the work we do. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is truly a unique organization in American theatre. In 2019, we will produce over 780 performances of 11 plays in three theatres and one community tour over an eight-month performance season to an audience of close to 400,000. We have one of the most demanding and complex production schedules in the country; our system of rotating repertory is ambitious and impacts everything we do. Add in the unpredictable elements of rain, smoke, heat and cold in our outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre, and it can seem pretty hectic around here sometimes. And yet the rewards are astonishing. In 2019, more than 600 theatre professionals, including one of the largest acting companies anywhere in the world, will come together to create the season here in Ashland. OSF is a large organization, and new company members are frequently overwhelmed with questions about it. Please check the Important Contacts appendix in this Welcome Book for information on who to contact when you need something—there are many people here to lend a hand anytime.

  • By Tony Taccone and Bennett S
    BY TONY TACCONE AND BENNETT S. COHEN, ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL BY SINCLAIR LEWIS SOUND DESIGN AND MUSIC BY PAUL JAMES PRENDERGAST DIRECTED BY LISA PETERSON DEAR FRIENDS, Four years ago, in the lead-up to the 2016 election, Berkeley Rep produced Tony Taccone and Bennett Cohen’s adaptation of Sinclair Lewis’ frighteningly prescient novel. With a desire to see the story reach the widest possible audience, and celebrating the impulse that led the wpa in 1936 to share the original stage version of Lewis’ novel for free with 21 theatres across the country, Berkeley Rep offered the rights to Tony and Bennett’s adaptation to theatres, community centers, universities — anyone who wanted to put together their own production or reading. And now, in 2020, this story feels all the more vital, and the need to share it widely even more compelling. I am honored that more than 75 organizations from more than 20 states have partnered with us to share this production of It Can’t Happen Here for free with their audiences and communities. We are joined in this effort by long-time theatre colleagues, by universities from Howard in Wash- ington, DC to Saint Cloud State in Minnesota (near Lewis’ hometown), by libraries, community centers, and radio stations. I am deeply grateful to Tony and Bennett, director Lisa Peterson, sound designer Paul James Prendergast and his small but mighty team, and this extraordinary cast who have collaborated across miles and time zones, through wildfires and new technology, for their conviction that the- atre matters, that narrative helps us to see the world more clearly, and that together we have the capacity to effect change.
