"Elizabethan stagehouse of the Oregon Shakespearian Festival, Ashland is patterned after the Fortune Theatre of 1599 London. Desgined by Richard L. Hay, it features multiple playing areas with varying levels, allowing the production of Shakespeare's plays in one continuous flow of action. This is the home of America's First Elizabethan Theatre, the oldest in the Western Hemisphere annually producing the plays of Shakespeare on the type of stage for which they were written."
