Oregon Shakespeare Festival Season Includes a Same-Sex ‘Oklahoma!’
"“We in leadership positions,” Bill Rauch, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s artistic director, told The New York Times in 2015, “need to do everything we can to reflect the world we live in.”
On Friday, Mr. Rauch and his colleagues continued that push when announcing the festival’s 2018 season, which features a record five plays by women — there are 11 in total — and a production of “Oklahoma!” that has same-sex couples in leading roles. This seven-month series also offers deep explorations of Native American and African-American history."
