Angus Bowmer Theatre `Henry V' "Once more into the breach ..." `The Night of the Iguana' Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) wrote some of the most memorable plays of the century, including "The Glass Menagerie" 1945, "A Streetcar Named Desire" 1947, and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" 1955. `The Man Who Came to Dinner' It was funny then, and it's just as funny now `Force of Nature' Heartwarming novels and Hollywood blockbusters portray Mr./ Ms. Right lurking just around the bend, waiting to be stumbled upon. `Trojan Women' We are trained to look for certain elements in stories, films, and plays-a fierce battle, perhaps a larger-than-life love affair, and certainly a satisfactory resolution. Elizabethan Theatre `Hamlet' "It's the first play I ever saw, and I've always been scared of it," OSF Artistic Director Libby Appel said of Hamlet. "And why not? It's the ultimate ghost story." `Twelfth Night' When the house lights go down and the stage lights come up in the Elizabethan Theatre for OSF's production of "Twelfth Night," the audience and cast find themselves in a wondrous world. It is the land of Illyria. A land, as its name suggests, of illusion, delirium, delusion. All is not what it seems in Illyria. And this is the world Shakespeare has given his characters to work out their singular fates. `Taming of the Shrew' At this stage in his life, Ken Albers has very few complaints. The Black Swan `Wit' Shaving her head was just one of the more highly visible things actor Linda Alper did to prepare for her role as a cancer patient in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Wit." `Crumbs from the Table of Joy' If you would like to be a fly on the wall in the life of an African American in an Eastern United States city in the 1950s, "Crumbs from the Table of Joy" will take you as close to that experience as possible. `Stop Kiss' With the opening of "Stop Kiss" by New York playwright Diana Son in the Black Swan Theatre on July 8, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is once again breaking new ground.
