After a multi-year hiatus, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Fellowships, Assistantships, Internships, and Residencies program is continuing its revival for a second pilot phase!
In 1935, Angus Bowmer founded OSF with the mission of bringing transformative, world-class theatre to Southern Oregon.
The Fellowship, Assistantship, Internship, and Residency (FAIR) Experience at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival offers meaningful professional development for aspiring, emerging, mid-career, and established artists, artisans, and arts administrators. Founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Tim Bond, The FAIR Experience was created with the mission of creating a doorway in Southern Oregon to access training in the field. As the oldest and largest repertory theater in the U.S., OSF offers a unique learning environment shaped by our repertory model, where participants engage with experienced professionals across disciplines. FAIR empowers the next generation of theater practitioners to build lasting careers and contribute to the evolving field of American theater.
FAIR STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The FAIR Experience at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival promotes equity and diversity within the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the field of American theatre at large, while generating the conditions of belonging and support within an enriching professional development environment.
