Ashland Middle School Play
Ashland is perhaps best known for its theatrical arts. Besides the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, there are countless plays going on in and around town. On most nights you have your choice of between 3 and 8 or so different plays to see. Not bad for a town of just over 20,000 people.
With all of these professional actors, directors, etc. in town it’s no surprise that the schools have amazing drama programs. The middle school plays are as good or better than high school plays elsewhere. The high school plays are as good or better than university plays elsewhere. And the SOU plays are better than professional plays elsewhere.
Unfortunately, I can’t stand plays. So I only go when I have to. Unfortunately, that is very often as my son loves to attend and participate in them.
The above photo is from the curtain call of Ashland Middle School’s rendition of “This is a Test.” They also performed “Small Actors” on the same night a few weeks back.
