Oregon Shakespeare Festival Green Show Kicks Off 6/7

Free outdoor entertainment returns to the Bricks June 7 when the Rogue Suspects take the Courtyard Stage as the first Oregon Shakespeare Festival Green Show performers of the season. The Green Show continues through October 16, six nights a week at 6:45 p.m. The full schedule is available here.

"The collaborative spirit is strong this season with great new and returning acts," says Community Producer Claudia Alick. "Every year we deepen our relationships, expand our connections, and increase our engagement. This season's 117 shows feature rock and Renaissance, African, Native American, Cambodian, country and folk, Taiwanese, African-American culture, Southern Oregon, Chinese, Latino, Japanese, Moroccan, Vietnamese, Iranian, OSF company, and performers with disabilities. Each act in the Green Show is like a note in a song. This year I feel like we've created a real symphony of entertainment."

The Courtyard Stage will host perennial favorites such as Ashland Taiko, NANDA, Misner & Smith, BROTHER, Dancing People Company, and the Curtain Climbers Aerial Dance Company, to name just a few. OSF company artists featured include Cedric Lamar, the OSF House Band, Cassie Fetty and the Gals of Country Music, members of the Bathtub Gin Serenaders, Hamfist and the Rogue Valley Gospel Choir, and more!

In addition to Alick, the Green Show is presented thanks to the efforts of Technical Manager Benajah Cobb, Assistant Producers Cassondra Fetty and Jess Carr, and Rogue Valley high school students who earn on-the-job experience and a stipend through OSF's Professional Experience and Education Program (PEEPs).
