For 12 years, Artistic Director Bill Rauch led Ashland’s Oregon Shakespeare Festival in a direction that has made OSF one of America’s best-known and most-respected regional theaters.
Rauch’s newly-named successor, Nataki Garrett, hopes to build on that legacy. She also hopes to help bring new stability to an organization that’s facing a range of challenges.
JPR’s Liam Moriarty caught up with Garrett by phone in Philadelphia, where she's working on the production of a new play.
