Oregon Shakespeare Festival Production History = 1990s 1991 saw the retirement of Jerry Turner, and the appointment of Henry Woronicz as the third Artistic Director in the Festivals 56 year history. The year also saw our first signed production, The Merchant of Venice. The Allen Pavilion of the Elizabethan Theatre was completed in 1992, providing improved acoustics, sight-lines and technical capabilities. The Festival’s operation in Portland became an independent theatre company — Portland Center Stage — on July 1, 1994. In 1995 Henry Woronicz announces his resignation and Libby Appel is named the new Artistic Director of the Festival. The Festival completes the canon for the third time in 1997, again with “Timon of Athens.” The Festival’s production of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s The Magic Fire plays at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC from November 10 through December 6, 1998, and is selected by Time Magazine as one of the year’s Ten Best Plays.
