The weather is finally consistently
lovely—why not open up the sun roof
and take a road trip? Maybe you want
to go somewhere a little farther away
than Sauvie Island or Cannon Beach,
somewhere you can enjoy something
that can sate your cultured palate as well
as your taste for bawdy cross-dressing
mayhem. Now’s the time to experience
one of the state’s longest-running and
most distinctive cultural landmarks: head
down to Ashland and take in a show

plays. But for all the theatrical innovation
and daring demonstrated by fest folk,
the Bard is still the axis on which the
season turns. It was for this reason that
artistic director Bill Rauch opted to steer
the event full circle and stage one of the
first Shakespearean plays that Bowmer
brought to Ashland: Twelfth Night.
Twelfth Night: Or, What You Will,
like many of Shakespeare’s comedies,
centers around mistaken identity. Viola, a
shipwrecked castaway, disguises herself as
a man and finds work as a duke’s servant;
she quickly enters a laughably absurd love
triangle of girls who like girls dressed
like boys who like boys who like girls. I t’s
chaotic, uproarious and funny as hell—
precisely why Twelfth Night remains one
of the Bard’s most well-loved and oft-
featuring Bolivia Carmichaels, Ginger and
Honey Bea Hart. (8pm, 219 NW Davis,

Darko Tresnjak, is sure to make more new
fans and delight experienced theatergoers
alike.
Twelfth Night runs June 1 through
October 8 on the Elizabethan Stage (Allen
Pavilion) at 15 S. Pioneer Street in
Ashland. Also opening on the Elizabethan
Stage in June are The Merchant of Venice
(possibly the most hilarious play ever written
about bigotry) and the gripping political
history Henry IV, Part One. For tickets,
