Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 2019
Season Opens March 8
Ashland -- The Tony Award–winning Oregon Shake-
speare Festival (OSF) will launch its 84th year and Bill
Rauch’s final season as artistic director with preview
performances beginning on March 1. The 2019 sea-
son officially kicks off Friday night, March 8, in the
Angus Bowmer Theatre with Shakespeare’s “As You
Like It” (director, Rosa Joshi). On Saturday afternoon,

day afternoon, the drama by Southern Oregon–based
playwright Octavio Solis, “Mother Road” (director,
Bill Rauch), will see its world premiere in the Angus
Bowmer Theatre.
The 2019 season is dedicated to the memory of Paul
Allen, and all those who have chosen to make a differ-
ence in the world through their generosity.
When Paul and his sister Jody Allen were young,
each year their parents would pack them up and
make the road trip from Seattle to Ashland to watch
Shakespeare classics performed in front of a rapt au-
dience.
In the intervening years, the Paul G. Allen Family
Foundation has supported multiple OSF programs
and helped construct both the Thomas Theatre and
the current iteration of OSF’s flagship Allen Elizabe-
than Theatre.
The full 2019 playbill includes:
“As You Like It,” “Mother Road,” “Hairspray—The
Broadway Musical” and “Indecent” in the Angus Bow-
mer Theatre; “Cambodian Rock Band,” “Between Two
Knees” and “How to Catch Creation” in the intimate
Thomas Theatre; and “Macbeth,” “Alice in Wonder-
land” and “All’s Well That Ends Well” in the outdoor
Allen Elizabethan Theatre. “La Comedia of Errors,” a
bilingual (Spanish and English) adaptation of one of
Shakespeare’s zaniest comedies, will be performed
at a variety of show times an in a variety of spaces,
including OSF’s Thomas Theatre and Hay-Patton Re-
hearsal Center, and in local communities.
The 2019 Green Show season will run Wednesday to
Saturday evenings at 6:45pm from June 7 to Septem-
ber 28.
Updates of the exciting engagements and innova-
tions planned for this unique performance experi-
ence will be announced throughout the season.
