Last June, we made a trip to Crater Lake ,Oregon and by the way stayed in a beautiful city -Ashland ,to enjoy an unforgettable noon, we had a nice lunch and watched a musical comedy,"The Cocoanuts." Which a music and lyric Play shows Florida Hotel Cocoanuts. The story is a going bankrupt hotel near a development land and living into some people who focus on the developments.My poor English didn't understand the sense of humor and play on words, just shared with the atmosphere delightful and laughingly.
In downtown Ashland, we were through the woods of the park where many families lay on the grass in the sunshine or were fishing and playing by the creeks,and the others were relaxing and delicate on a picnic. They were the audiences driving a long way from everywhere .Due to there are many theaters,especially three of them play Shakespeare from February to October every year.
Ashland, a city in the State of Oregon near the border of Northern California, hosts Shakespeare
Festival every year. The Festival has grown from a summer outdoor series, during the Fourth of July celebration in 1935, to a season that stretches from February to October and has become an award-winning and internationally-regional theater company. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival has become the largest regional repertory theater in the United States.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote many plays and often was called the English national poet.
莎士比亞節在愛許蘭
去年六月，我們到奧勒岡州的火山口湖旅遊，途經一個美麗的城市愛許蘭，停留並享受了一個難忘的下午，我們吃了一頓豐盛的午餐並看了一齣音樂喜劇「可可豆」，那是一個音樂抒情歌劇表演佛羅里達州旅館可可豆，故事是一個即將破產的旅館，因為靠近一塊開發土地，而住進一些關注此開發案的房客。我的英語程度無法理解其幽默風趣和雙關語，僅能分享歡樂的氣氛和哈哈大笑聲。
在愛許蘭市中心，我們穿越公園的樹林，看到許多家人躺在暖暖的陽光下青草地上，或在小溪流邊垂釣玩水，也有許多人輕鬆愉快的野餐。他們都是從各地一路迢迢開車來的觀衆，因為這裡有許多劇場，尤其，其中有三家劇場每年從二月到十月演出莎士比亞名劇。
愛許蘭是個小城鎮，位於奧勒岡州靠近北加利福尼亞州的邊界，每年主辦莎士比亞節。這節慶始於一系列的戶外劇場演出，在1935年七月四日慶祝國慶演出一季，而逐漸發展成二月演到十月，演出得獎劇目，已然是有國際知名度的地區劇場公司。奧勒岡莎士比亞節已發展成美國最大的地區性劇場寶庫。
威廉莎士比亞生於1564年卒於1616年，寫了許多劇本，一般稱其為英國國寶詩人。
