Came to an amazing performance of "Come From Away." We haven't been back to Ashland's Shakespeare…read moreFestival in over 20 years and some things have changed, while others have not. Most things for the better...the crowds not so much. There were some great options on shows and too little time to see all the ones showing. The Angus Bowmer Theater had great seats. There was plenty of leg room between rows and enough elevation to see over the rows and to the stage. Acoustics were good as well. Only downside were the multiple stairs getting to our seats...but can't complain about the views afforded. Great venue and looking forward to seeing more shows at different theaters.

I saw two productions here during the 2025 season and thoroughly loved my experience. I got the lowest tier tickets and my seats were great...not a bad seat in the house here! Do make sure you get tickets early for these shows if they're a priority; the small capacity means it can sell out quickly.

They are showcasing plays that I think have had very important stances on social justice which I really like to see in plays. I try to make my way to as many of their shows as I can. I think it is very integrated in the theatre based community of Ashland. I think the Unitarian Church is a very good venue for staged readings, but i would certainly follow ANPF to a new location if it changes. Especially because it seems that each show is at capacity in the Unitarian church and if you don't get there early enough sight lines can be a problem, especially from the balcony; there is a railing that can be a really obstruction in the balcony. SOU students, you can discount tickets for $6 make sure to mention that you are a student. If you are buying tickets at the door make sure to have cash, they don't have any way of taking cards at the door. A really fun night out with friends. Make sure to stay for the talk-back with the Playwrights. It's always interesting to have the playwright in the room. And as the plays are in the process of being revised you can give input to the playwright in person! OSF fans, make sure to check it out. There are frequently OSF actors in the plays. It's fun to see them in a different setting.

We have always enjoyed the shows at OCT, however, no one in our party enjoyed The Nutcracker and…read morethe Mouse King. The cast was pretty good, but everyone seemed to be yelling and it was a bit much. I know they need to project, but they were loud and maybe too energetic. It was overwhelming. The storyline was also a bit weird. It was easily our least favorite show and we couldn't wait for it to be over. Also, the food for us has been hit or miss. We had dinner elsewhere for that reason, but decided to have coffee and dessert and it was a mistake. The gingersnap cheesecake came out broken, curdled. My wife has been a pastry chef for years and she was horrified that that was what was sent out. We immediately sent it back! It also had maraschino cherry juice randomly spilled on the plate. I wish I had taken a photo of it. It was abysmal. My father in law got the mousse, but didn't realize that it would have a cup of coffee in it, so it was pretty much liquid. He was also very disappointed. Overall, we might have to rethink coming here again. We have always wanted to support local theater, but for the price we paid, we were very disappointed.

Fun experience for the family…read more We went to the Angus Bowmer Theater for our second and last play during our visit to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland earlier this week. The theater is covered, and everyone was wearing masks, so we were comfortable throughout. They were selling souvenirs in the lobby, and we bought a couple of T-shirts and candy before the show started. We thoroughly enjoyed 'Once On This Island,' even though the musical was changed at the last minute to a recital as some of the performers came down with COVID. We will be back!

It was performed at the Grizzly Peak Winery within a relatively small indoor "warehouse" venue and stared 2 noted OSF veterans (Michael Elich and Robin Goodrin Nordli). As afternoon performances of about 90 minutes are among our favorites, we not only stayed awake, but attentively enjoyed show. It was almost a full house and and enjoying a free glass of wine at the beginning was a nice touch. The Winery was just a short drive beyond Downtown Ashland. We'll be sure to check to RTC schedule before we return to Ashland on our next trip here.
