Shakespeare for a Cause The Oregon Shakespeare Festival invites the public to its 20th annual Daedalus Project, a benefit for regional and international HIV/AIDS organizations, Aug. 19 and 20 in Ashland. Events kick off at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 19 with the 10th annual five-kilometer run/walk. Check-in begins at 6:45 a.m. on the bricks in front of the box office. Registration is $20 a person and includes a T-shirt; participants can register up to 10 minutes before the start. The Daedalus Art &. Treasures Sale of T-shirts, baked goods, lemonade and other concessions will take place on the afternoon of Aug. 20 in the Angus Bowmer Theatre lobby. From 6:30 to 7:15 p.m., the Rhythm Kings will offer free entertainment on the courtyard deck. A variety show begins at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 20 on the Elizabethan Stage. The event fea tures guitar solos, original dances, the Daedalus chorus, songs, poetry and skits performed by Oregon Shakespeare Festival actors, company members and artists from the commu nity. The finale of Act 1 is the ever-popular Underwear Parade, in which audience members vote with their dollars for their favorite underwear. The show will close with a special candlelight witnessing ceremony to remember those who have died of AIDS. After each year’s benefit, the festival distributes proceeds to local, regional, national and international HIV/AIDS charitable organizations. In 2006, money was given to the Alan E Collins AIDS Project, Siskiyou County HIV/AIDS Foundation and Afficare. “Community organizations that serve people living with HIV and AIDS have histor ically received limited public funding,” said Rita Sullivan, director of OnTrack in Medford. “This unfortunate reality persists and is particularly true of our Alan Collins AIDS Project, for which no public funding has been available for several years. Without the generous assistance of the Daedalus Project, Alan’s House and Fairfield Place would not exist. The Daedalus Project enfolds people with HIV and those who care about them in the embrace of a caring community. For a few precious hours on an August night, they may celebrate the lives of those they have lost, rekindle hope and delight in the healing tonic of laughter and music.” For more information or tickets, call the box office at 541-482-4331 or visit www.osfashland.org. —Chelsea Fine Serions Injury & Death Cases.
