I’m in Ashland for the weekend to cover the summer outdoor theater openings at the festival. Saw “Twelfth Night” Friday, which was great, and “Henry IV, Part One” last night, which was less so. Also caught “She Loves Me,” a fabulous musical, at the indoor Bowmer Theatre yesterday afternoon. What fun! Headed for “Merchant of Venice” tonight; it’s directed by Bill Rauch, the festival’s hot new artistic director, and I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Between shows I’ve been diverting myself taking photos for my photo-book-in-a-month project, so I’ve been carrying my camera constantly and annoying my friends. It’s going to be a challenge to come up with 35 good photos in a weekend, but I think I can manage. I had planned out a shooting list before I arrived; naturally some things worked out and some haven’t.

This is a cutout for tourist photos at the festival gift shop.
