Big Time Events In London Come To Ashland (Kind Of)

It seems only appropriate that a town that reveres and is supported by Shakespeare should have an affinity for London.  The British capital and its arts scene are highlighted in a series of plays and operas projected at the Varsity Theatre in Ashland. 

Nothing too tricky about the name for the series, it is called "London Live in Ashland."

The preliminary schedule for the season features events into the month of June, on Sundays and Mondays.  Penny Metropolus, a longtime member of the company at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, visits with highlights of the London/Ashland season.
