SUMMARY:Oregon Shakespeare Festival July 6 – July 11, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join the Gentrain Society and Dr. Alan Haffa, Director of Gentrain, as we visit Ashland, Oregon, for the annual Shakespeare Festival.\nWe are scheduled to see six plays: Taming of the Shrew (one can only wonder what the OSF will do with this troublesome play, but the brochure promises a “bold production”), Come From Away (a Tony Award play based on the true story of Canadians taking in a stranded plane load after 9/11), Emma (a “bold, gender bending romp that turns Jane Austin on her head”), A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream (Shakespeare’s timeless romantic comedy, where “the course of true love never did run smooth”), Henry IV, Part One (will Prince Hal ever grow up to take over the crown?), and Raisin in the Sun (Lorraine Hansberry’s seminal mid-Century work that  “changed the American theater forever”).\nA four-session overview and analysis of the plays will be led by Dr. Haffa about week before the trip. We will also have daily discussions of the plays after viewing them in Ashland.\nWe will be housed at local university dormitories. Rooms are comparable to motel rooms; most have two double beds, private bathrooms, mini fridge, and microwave. Suites can be reserved for one or two people.\nCosts include: Transportation from and back to MPC and shuttle service in Ashland, five nights lodging, tickets to six plays, and all gratuities. Meals are not included.\nCosts for this year’s trip are as follows:\nSuite/single $1,821\n     Suite/double EACH $1,695\nThe trip is limited to 30 participants and spaces will be filled on a first-come basis. Your check for the full amount, made out to MPC/Gentrain Society, will secure your reservation. Please send to Allison Porter, 1920 Noche Buena Street, Seaside CA 93955.\nMake sure your name, address, phone number and email address are included (typed or printed). If you are not a member of the Gentrain Society, please enclose an additional check for $35 ($50 for double), made out to Gentrain.\nAny questions about registration can be answered by Allison at 831-224-8052.\n
