The Oregon Shakespeare Festival's 20th annual Daedalus Project concludes with
a variety show to benefit HIV/AIDS charities.
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.”
