Editor’s note: Letters about OSF

October 3, 2022

Wondering about all the letters about Oregon Shakespeare Festival? Ashland.news Relocations columnist Herbert Rothschild wrote columns posted Aug. 12 (“Let’s talk about OSF” and Aug. 19 (“Let’s talk more about OSF”), and asked readers to engage in a “community conversation” about the festival’s offerings, which drew some letters and Viewpoints.

National Public Radio (NPR) published an article on Sept. 28 entitled “Oregon Shakespeare Festival focuses on expansion – but is not without its critics,” which reached a national audience and prompted more letters. Longer responses are posted on the Viewpoints page.
