This is the Elizabethan outdoor theater. With cornstalks, because Merry Wives of Windsor was modernized and set in Iowa.
8:30pm showing, so we rented blankets, but used them for cushions; the
weather was fantastic.
Shakespeare Festival tips:
- Seeing multiple plays in the same theater is fun, to see the complete set changes.
- The back middle are the best cheap seats, but the front row far right is an interesting perspective and not as bad as it seems.
- Walk around during intermissions – 3 hours is a long time to sit!
- Park in the neighborhoods around the theater, for free. Don’t expect other entertainment in Ashland – food and plays and more food.
- If they offer a production with multiple plays combined, pick that one. Meda/MacBeth/Cinderella was fantastic!
- Three plays felt like the perfect number. Some folks we talked to were there for five. I think two would’ve left it feeling undone.
We both enjoyed our weekend and agree it would be fun to do again ina bout 5 years.
