Oregon Shakespeare Festival Production History = 1990s
1991 saw the retirement of Jerry Turner, and the appointment of Henry Woronicz as the third Artistic Director in the Festivals
56 year history. The year also saw our first signed production, The Merchant of Venice. The Allen Pavilion of the Elizabethan
Theatre was completed in 1992, providing improved acoustics, sight-lines and technical capabilities. The Festival’s operation in
Portland became an independent theatre company — Portland Center Stage — on July 1, 1994. In 1995 Henry Woronicz
announces his resignation and Libby Appel is named the new Artistic Director of the Festival. The Festival completes the canon
for the third time in 1997, again with “Timon of Athens.” The Festival’s production of Lillian Garrett-Groag’s The Magic Fire
plays at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC from November 10 through December 6, 1998, and is selected by Time
Magazine as one of the year’s Ten Best Plays.
In this decade the Festival produced these World Premieres, including adaptations: 1990 - Peer Gynt,1993 - Cymbeline, 1995 Emma’s Child, 1996 - Moliere Plays Paris, 1996 – The Darker Face of the Earth, 1997 - The Magic Fire, 1998 - Measure for
Measure, 1999 - Rosmersholm,1999 - The Good Person of Szechuan
