ASHLAND- Quality theatre in picturesque Southern Oregon. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) is the second-best Shakespeare company in the nation and it does deliver. The company also performs non-Shakespeare plays, and always has a few visiting actors or set designers. The town of Ashland is cozy and there’s plenty of recreational activities in the outlying areas: whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking, etc. If you have time, be sure to take a hike up Mt. Ashland, and visit the Harry and David store.
