Sword fighters, craps players, and history's most famous queen will join many other characters on stage at the Oregon Shakespeare Festivalduring the coming season in Ashland.
OSF plays hit the stages later in the month, and the company is cranking up to full speed to get ready.
We visit with OSF reps Lydia Garcia and Julie Felise Dubiner to talk about the general challenges of running a professional theater company in a small town... and this year's crop of 11 plays.
PS: the queen is Cleopatra.
