The Hamazons present “Improvised Shakespeare”
2025-09-14 15:00 - 17:00 | Ashland Bellview Grange, 1050 Tolman Creek Road, Ashland, OR, 97520, United States
The Hamazon’s present “Improvised Shakespeare,” a performance where comedy improv takes a theatrical romp in the style of The Bard.
Inspired by the works of Shakespeare, The Hamazons will deliver a full-length improvised play with Elizabethan flair. Filled with the language of poetic imagery and bawdy innuendo, the Hamazons will “take arms against a sea of trouble” and hope that “all’s well that ends well.” Lovers, fools, fairies, and “monarchs to behold the swelling stage” will find a new story filled with love, death, revenge, mystery and magic, as The Hamazons discover it for the first and only time with the help of audience suggestions.
“Improvised Shakespeare” will be in the style of long-form improvisation, which means The Hamazons will create one long story, in two acts, completely unscripted. The stories they act out have never been seen before and will never be seen again making each performance a unique experience. The Hamazons, also known as “The Warrior Princesses of Improv”, feature Cil Stengel, Eve Smyth and Kyndra Laughery.
The Hamazons will present an unscripted Shakespearean story on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12th and 13th at 7:30pm and Sunday, Sept. 14th at 3:00pm at The Bellview Grange, 1050 Tollman Creek Rd in Ashland.
Tickets are $17 online at www.hamazons.com or $20 at the door – advance tickets are recommended.

Ashland author Bruce McConnell explores Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures
2025-09-15 19:00 - 20:00 | Bloomsbury Books, 290 E. Main St., Ashland, OR, 97520, United States
Special pre-release event for crow-admirers (and anyone who loves the Earth)!
Ashland author Bruce McConnell explores “Crows Calling: An Inspiring Journey into our Better Natures,” his uplifting novel about our relationships with the natural world and each other in the face of climate change.
“A parable of wisdom and kindness told through the eyes of the living world.” —Paul Hawken
Earth’s animals are fed up with humanity’s mindless damage to our common home. Will a young girl and her family heed their call?
Ten-year-old Luz sets out on an overnight camping trip, accompanied by her spiritual mentor. Peering through a canopy of California redwoods, Luz witnesses a council of animals confronting the menace of climate change. Led by a lustrous—and talkative—crow named Koro, the animals weigh their options. Some, like Koro, want to collaborate with humans. Others doubt humanity’s good intentions. The conversation compels young Luz, innately in tune with the natural world, to fight passionately in its defense.
At once a work of fact-based activism and a moving coming-of-age, “Crows Calling” immerses the reader in a richly drawn family and community who, despite their differences, decide to dedicate their lives to the care of Grandmother Earth. They are not alone. Rather, they are accompanied by a colorful cast of savvy planimals—trees, coyotes, chickens, and even lichens—with long memories and ancient ways of healing.
Some damage cannot be undone. Natural disasters, public apathy, and greed threaten everything that Luz and her friends are working for. Can the cross-species alliance find unity and resolve the climate crisis?
Bruce McConnell is an agile shapeshifter, having flourished as a poet, roofer, artist-blacksmith, engineer, tenor, consultant, national security official, non-profit executive, and peacemaker. He sings in the Rogue Valley Peace Choir.

Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
2025-09-18 18:00 - 19:30 | Kagyu Sukha Choling, 109 Clear Creek Drive, Ashland, 97520
This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.
“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.”
From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.
To attend Calm Abiding Meditation via Zoom, email the office at OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG to join the mailing list.

Walk through Jacksonville History
2025-09-20 10:00 - 11:00 | Downtown Jacksonville
Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back!
At 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 24th through August 30th, Historic Jacksonville, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history, visiting government and commercial buildings, fraternal lodges, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social, governmental, and commercial hub. They’ll learn how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it.
Walking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings.
For individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District, its Historic Homes, and its Pioneer Cemetery.
Historic Jacksonville, Inc. invites you to forget the “names, dates, places, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life!
Additional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.
