Rarely does the Oregon Shakespeare Festival stage a non-Shakespeare play on the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. I was privileged to see a production recently. I’ve seen Cyrano before live and enjoyed the play, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.

It tells …

I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …
