My first experience of OSF was in the late 70's when our small high school drama class made annual trips during the school year to see plays in Ashland.  I made trips back as a young newlywed to share my love of the festival with my wife.   We have returned on and off throughout the years and now for almost 10 years we have been going every year seeing Shakespeare, classic and new plays over a long holiday weekend.   We have a standing reservation at the same B&B every year and we visit a lot of the same businesses including the surrounding wineries. 

I think my favorite thing about OSF is the inclusion of new plays as well as the  traditional  Shakespeare.  I tell all my friends that even if you are not a big fan of Shakespeare there is plenty of theater for you to enjoy while at OSF.
