Oregon Shakespeare Festival Play Reading “8” by Dustin Lance Black Sunday, August 5, 12 at 8:30 pm in the New Theatre "8" is based on court transcripts and interviews and chronicles the historic 2010 federal court case Perry vs. Schwarzenegger, which sought to overturn Proposition 8. The reading has renewed relevance in light of the recent decision on February 7, 2012, when a federal appeals court overturned Proposition 8, ruling that Californians took away a right from a minority group without justification when they approved the 2008 ban on same-sex marriage. The reading is among those sponsored by American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact. All tickets for this reading are $5.00 and will be donated to AFER. To order tickets, click the date of the play reading on calendar to the right or call 800-219-8161. Cast lists for the readings will be posted when information is available.Another Limerick from a Chanticleer Inn Guest

Baby Fawn at the door of the Chanticleer Inn

Chanticleer Inn: a deer nursery!
It's fawning time in Ashland. A doe left a fawn at the front door -- literally on the Chanticleer Inn B&B's porch. Mother deer will leave the fawns in order to browse and feed, and will later return to them. Most of the time, the fawn is safely sequestered in tall grass or under a bush. Being so new fawns have no scent for predators to catch a whiff of, and the spots help camouflage the baby. The deer in Ashland are so accustomed to humans, they leave them on sidewalks, in alleys, and now apparently at front doors.
