The Oregon Shakespearean Festival, initiated in 1935, pioneered in the western
hemisphere the staging of Shakespeare's plays in the Elizabethan manner. With
the building of the delightfully intimate indoor Angus Bowmer Theatre the Festival
has been able to broaden the scope of its theatrical offerings.

Ashland, a picturesque college town, is situated in the Rogue River Valley near the
Rogue River National Forest, 560,406 acres of ponderosa pine, sugar pine and Douglas

fir. Mount Ashland in the Siskiyou Mountains affords a spectacular view from its
7,533-foot summit. Skiing conditions and facilities are excellent.
