Bring a blanket, grab a seat; It’s the Green Show

Project Trio from Brooklyn, N.Y. was a hit at a recent Green Show.

The Green Show audience gathers in a grass amphitheater in the Shakespeare Festival complex.

The arts enrich Ashland in so many ways and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival plays a huge part. Eleven plays, including three from Shakespeare, are part of a 10-month program from February through November. Last year, about 110,000 people bought nearly 410,000 tickets for shows at the three theaters. The festival was a nearly $90 million boost to the local economy.

But one of the best parts is free: the Green Show, performed six evenings a week at the Shakespeare complex.

St. Cinder did their own green show downtown, attracting a crowd and plenty of cash during an entertaining performance.

This classic VW van and smaller twin are quintessential Ashland.
