A Shakespeare Festival everyone should experience - Situated between tree covered mountains in beautiful southern Oregon, the Oregon Shakespearean Festival is an experience everyone should have. I first went in high school and saw Twelfth Night in the outdoor Elizabethan Theater. I fell in love, and have been back 6 times since. The plays are consistently high quality, but what makes Ashland special is the atmosphere. You feel like you are part of nature. Like this is how life is supposed to be lived. Filled with art, food, wine, and good people. Do not miss this experience. This is a photo of the outdoor theater:
