Letter: ‘This is the type of theater which keeps me returning’

September 30, 2022

As a visitor from Indiana, I am delighted with my trip to Ashland and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival this year. I saw an amazing set of plays including “Confederates,” “Revenge Song” and “King John.”  Nataki Garrett had the foresight to curate this amazing set of options that appeals to this Shakespeare lover. 

As a supporter of Chicago Shakespeare, aka Chicago Shakes, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, I am thrilled to see Nataki’s vision. This energy will keep theater alive in Ashland. This is the type of theater which keeps me returning.
