OSF Cancels 2020 Fall Season

In compliance with Oregon Governor Brown’s ruling that “large gatherings,” will not be able to meet until at least the end of September, or until a “reliable treatment or prevention like a vaccine” is available, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival announced the cancellation of its Fall 2020 season, previously scheduled to begin September 8.

“The health and safety of our entire Ashland community, including artists, staff, volunteers, patrons, and Festival partners, is our highest priority,” said Nataki Garrett, OSF artistic director. “It is with great sadness that we are forced to cancel OSF’s 2020 Fall season

Canceling the 2020 season has very real financial consequences for OSF. Since suspending performances on March 12, OSF teams have been working to plan and schedule a 2021 season. All 2020 ticketholders are invited to donate tickets or consider a voucher for use in 2021.. OSF is also currently running a $5MM critical relief fundraising campaign,

Cancellations of the Wooden O productions of The Comedy of Errors and Othello, and Cry Havoc series

Today Seattle Shakespeare Company’s Artistic Director George Mount announced that the
company is canceling the Wooden O shows for the summer of 2020. The theatre is also cancelling its May
special presentation of Stephan Wolfert’s Cry Havoc!
“This summer, considering the dreadful novel coronavirus threat, the prospect of large group gatherings
poses too great a risk to the health and well-being of our audiences and our valued artists and support
teams,” said Mount. “For the safety of us all, this year, we cannot not go forward with Wooden O as usual.”
The cancelled Wooden O productions of The Comedy of Errors and Othello will be rescheduled for the
summer of 2021. Seattle Shakespeare was also to present Cry Havoc! In late May and has cancelled that
event. said Artistic Director, George Mount.

Patrons who have questions about tickets or about donating to Seattle Shakespeare Company may contact
the company through the Ticket Office at 206-733-8222 or online at www.seattleshakespeare.org.

Weekly Sat from 7pm-10pm, May 16 to June 27, via Zoom Video Broadcast

In celebration of Black Music Month, Wa Na Wari and LANGSTON are partnering to present 2(06) The Break, a seven episode series that takes a uniquely local ‘spin’ on the live streaming DJ sessions popularized by cultural icons like Questlove and DJ D-Nice via social media these past two months. Each week, Jazmyn Scott, Seattle hip hop supporter and co-curator of the 2015 Legacy of Seattle Hip-Hop exhibit at MOHAI, will pair two Pacific Northwest hip hop DJs per episode to collaboratively program and record a set composed exclusively of songs by local hip hop artists of a specific era, from the 1980s to the present. Each DJ set will be presented in a live stream program hosted by two local hip hop luminaries who will bring their unique insight to the tracks in the program and the local culture and music scene of the era represented in the episode.
