Oregon festivals, event venues say 2021 seasons could be wiped out unless state issues reopening plan soon OregonLive.com 1 hr ago Jamie Goldberg, oregonlive.com
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is tentatively planning to resume in-person performances this fall, welcoming back theatergoers for the first time in well over a year and helping spur the Southern Oregon economy.
But before the festival can commit to putting on plays this fall, it wants the state to provide a clear pathway back for live performances and events.
“We’re already past the point of needing to know,” said David Schmitz, the festival’s executive director. “I think truthfully if we don’t have a much better sense of guidance from the state by the end of April or early May, it’s going to be really hard to make something happen in the fall.”

A few weeks ago, management of a downtown office building sent out a group email that got right to the point:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a long-time tenant of the 200 Market Building, Mr. Jin Choo
For the people who worked in or visited the 18-story office building just south of Keller Auditorium, his death, of a heart attack at age 62 while getting ready to go to work that Thursday morning, is a reminder of something vital.
