ANGUS BOWMER SAYS:
Shakespeare Festival Equal to One Industry
By Herbert Bell
"The Shakespearean Festival
brings approximately half a
million dollars in trade into
our valley every summer. This
is equal to the full employment
of ninety men," stated Angus
Bowmer, managing - producer
of the Oregon Shakespearean
Festival, in a talk to senior
English classes.
He declared, "Every outside
dollar has the impact of about
twelve local dollars. That
means tourist dollars are circu
lated about twelve times be
fore they sink into the local
'pool,' or out of the valley."
The producer pointed out
that the Festival faces a grave
problem at this time. "A new
theatre must be built as the old
theatre had outgrown its use
fulness and was dangerously
hazardous, according to archi
tects and fire inspectors," he
said.
The present project consists
of building a new stage to re
place the one which had to be
razed. The proposed stage will
cost $275,000. This money is
to be raised by private sub
scription from theatre patrons
and businessmen, not only
from Ashland, but from all
over the United States.
Monetary Value
-Many have asked the ques
tion, "WTiat is the monetary
value of the Festival?"
After an exhaustive survey,
a conservative estimate is that
visitors to the Festival annual
ly are responsible for $6. mil
lion in added purchasing power
in this area. The method used
for making the survey was
those employed by Chambers
of Commerce and travel bu
reaus, asserted Mr. Bowmer.
With the Oregon Centennial
in 1959, the Festival should at
tract many more people than
this year which would result
in an increase of money spent
in the area, he added.
Bowmer Founded Festival
The Festival was founded by
Mr. Bowmer in 1935 and was
backed at that time by local
people. The stage was built
for a scant sum, using donated
lumber and labor.
"Wc produced two Festivals
in 1935 and 1936. The Associa
tion was formed in 1937 and
has produced the plays con
tinuously since that time,"
slated Mr., Bowmer.
Shakespeare Interests Teens
When asked what students
can get from Shakespeare, Mr.
Bowmer replied, "Each stu
dent can gain much from
Shakespearean plays. From
seeing the plays the student's
own opinions and philosophy
can be developed."
Mr. Bowmer thrilled the stu
dents with personal readings
from the "dagger speech" and
the "sleep walking scene" from
Macbeth.
School Materials Available
Mr. Bowmer stressed the
fact that tape recordings of the
plays and pictures from the
plays are available to high
bchools. -
