## Resource

In this episode of Full Expression, host Dan Imhoff sits down with actresses Ava Mingo and Royer Bockus from the renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, one of the largest and longest-running repertory theater companies in the United States. Eva and Royer take us behind the scenes of life at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, from building characters and mastering Shakespeare's language to understudying major roles, sustaining creativity over months-long runs, and finding balance between the characters they play, and their everyday lives. This is a conversation about artistic collaboration, adaptation, and the unique challenges and rewards of repertory theater. Ava and Royer also reflect on the power of performance to build empathy, spark conversation, and create moments of genuine human connection. Hosted on Acast.
