Capital Stage invites theatre-lovers in the community to join them on the company's 3rd annual journey to Ashland, Oregon. On August 19, 2010, a group of theatre lovers will depart by chartered bus to experience a four-day, three-night cultural adventure to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Reservations are now being taken for this August 19-22, 2010 package. "This trip has sold out for the past two years. We have a great time and are really looking forward to making the journey again this year," said Cap Stage Founding Artistic Director Gularte.
Founded in 1935, the Tony Award winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) is one of the oldest and largest non-profit theatres in the nation. Those joining in on this trip to the festival will see the following productions:TWELFTH NIGHT - Both Orsino and Olivia's households have love on the brain. But who, really, are the objects of desire? When Viola, a shipwrecked castaway, disguises herself as a boy and finds work as Orsino's servant, she becomes entangled in an awkward love triangle. Things come unglued, but for almost everyone, Shakespeare's treasured comedy ends happily. Twelfth Night brims with antics, beds and bathtubs, and beloved characters, both prudish and crudish.. (Elizabethan Stage)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE- Mrs. Bennet will stop at nothing to obtain advantageous matches for her five middle-class daughters. This shouldn't be difficult for Jane, the eldest and the family beauty. Her sister Elizabeth is another story. Witty and outspoken, Elizabeth takes an instant dislike to the high-born Mr. Darcy. He professes to find her barely tolerable. Or does he? Can their simmering attraction overcome class distinctions and prejudices about each other? (Angus Bowmer Theatre)AMERICAN NIGHT - As Juan José studies for his citizenship exam, his obsession to pass takes him on a fantastical odyssey. On a zig-zag journey through U.S. history, Juan discovers America's best in a handful of unsung citizens who made courageous choices in some of the country's toughest times. L.A.'s legendary Culture Clash partners with company actors in a cutting, comic mix of past and present, stereotype and truth that will move you into a deeper vision of our shared story.(New Theatre)
