THEATER

Straw Hat

There has always been some question as to whether American actors can successfully get themselves up in tights and doublets, flick the old rapiers around, and spew forth Shakespeare. Some have shown they can indeed, and in ever growing numbers others are getting the chance to try, most importantly in the Shakespeare festivals and rep companies that have sprung up from coast to coast, in doors and out, even in reproductions of Elizabethan theaters. Several cities have free performances in parks. And one outdoor theater has imported an entire British rep company.

Notable offerings include: OREGON SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL (Ashland): Merchant of Venice, Lear, Twelfth Night and Henry VI, Part 1.

OLD GLOBE THEATER (San Diego): Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing and Measure for Measure.
