Davis Shakespeare Festival returns in 2019 presenting two exciting productions in repertory for its 10th summer season.

The first play is The Tenth Muse. In eighteenth century colonial Mexico, three young women meet in the convent of San Jeronimo with the threats of the Spanish Inquisition, the plague, and their own dangerous secrets at their back. Despite the challenges facing them, the women come together to celebrate and protect the writings of Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, one of Mexico’s most beloved poets. One of the most acclaimed productions from Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 2013 season, The Tenth Muse will feature live music and an all-female cast. We are honored to present this regional premiere! The cast features Gabby Battista as Jesusa, Kelley Ogden as Sor Isabel, Leah Sanginiti as Tomasita, Susanna Florence as Sor Rufina, as well as Margie Curler-Kohl, Talia Friedenberg, Lisa Halko, Lisa Quoresimo, Laurie Strawn, and Monica Vejar.

The second is A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. Join Monty Navarro on his quest to become Earl of the famous D’Ysquith Family in this zany musical comedy! It’s early twentieth century London and the destitute Monty has just learned he is ninth in line to become Earl of Highhurst Castle. Will a succession of eight elaborate “accidental” and hilarious deaths lead him to this coveted position? A Gentleman's Guide was the most-nominated musical of the 2014 Tony Awards, winning Best Musical. The cast features Daniel Sugimoto as Monty Navarro, Kyle Stoner as The D’Ysquith Family, Kyra Kozlenko as Sibella Hallward, as well as Dennis Beasley, Elizabeth S. Garbe, Nathan Lacy, Charlie Lavaroni, Leah Sanginiti, Laurie Strawn, and Sarah Williams.
