Tonight's performance of Romeo and Juliet is moved to AHS Theatre

Dear Ticket Holder, 

Due to unhealthy levels of smoke in the air from nearby forest fires, we have decided to move tonight's performance of Romeo and Juliet to Mountain Avenue Theatre at Ashland High School (201 S. Mountain Ave., Ashland). The current air quality readings are in an unhealthy zone, which puts performers and audience members at risk in the outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre. 

This alternate indoor venue performance tonight of Romeo and Juliet will begin at 8:00 p.m. The Box Office at AHS will open at 5:30 p.m., at which point you may exchange your outdoor ticket for a numbered alternate performance ticket. You are welcome to stay in the air-conditioned waiting area, and at 7:15 p.m. you may line up in  order of your ticket number to enter the theatre. A map and directions to the AHS theatre are included below. Mountain Avenue Theatre at Ashland High School is a fully equipped theatre with cushioned seats and air conditioning, and was designed by our very own Richard L. Hay.

We have limited tickets available for tonight’s 8:00 p.m. indoor performances of Oklahoma! in the Angus Bowmer Theatre, and Manahatta in the Thomas Theatre. If you wish to exchange your tickets into either of these performances, please call 800-219-8161 or stop by the Box Office on Pioneer Street.  

Tonight’s Green Show will be moved to the Black Swan. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Space is limited.

Please read the following information carefully:   

We will be able to accommodate 200 patrons at the alternate performance; seating is general. Concessions (see menu here) will be available beginning at 5:30 p.m. and a pop-up Tudor Guild gift shop will be onsite at that time as well. You may preorder Concessions items for intermission before the show, and bottled water and beverages in OSF commemorative cups will be allowed inside the theatre. There will be no refunds, exchanges or vouchers after attending an alternate performance.

The alternative performances at Ashland High School are fully staged and produced versions of the original productions. Though the scenery and lighting from the Allen Elizabethan Theatre will not be incorporated, these performances will include full costumes, wigs, props and sound. Most importantly, as a text-based theatre company with a resident company performing in rotating repertory, we firmly believe that the performances given by the actors are at the heart of the work, and those performances will be uncompromised. In fact, these adapted versions are a chance to see OSF’s acting company do what they do best—work collaboratively together in the moment to find the truth at the heart of the story!

If you choose not to join us for the alternate performance, please note that you have seven days to do one of the following (the OSF box office will be busy this evening, so please consider waiting until tomorrow afternoon to contact them):

• Donate your tickets back to OSF.* 

• Exchange your tickets for a future OSF performance. All exchanges based on value of original tickets.    

• Receive a voucher equal to the value of your tickets to be used for a future performance, through October 27, 2019.

• Receive a full refund.  

The Box Office phone number is 800-­219-­8161, and the mailing address is 15 South Pioneer Street, Ashland, OR 97520. The box office opens daily at 9:30 a.m.  

Thank you for your understanding during this challenging and unpredictable time. 

*OSF is a nonprofit arts organization. Ticket donations are vital in helping OSF sustain operations and education programming during these challenging climate conditions. Patrons who choose to donate the value of their tickets will be provided with a receipt for tax purposes.
