We were heartbroken to learn of the passing of Sara Ryung Clement.

Sara was an incredible artist whose work has graced our stages consistently since her first production in 2016. Her work, whether on Shakespeare or a world premiere was always stunning, singularly inventive, and thoughtfully conceived. She created imaginative, dynamic settings and gorgeous, sophisticated clothing all in service of the deepest level of storytelling. A consummate collaborator, kind, generous, and always good-humored, Sara was beloved by OSF staff. We will miss her.

Here is a list of Sara's beautiful contributions over the years:
2016 – Vietgone - Scenic & Costume
2017 – Hannah + the Dread Gazebo – Costume

In front of the famed Allen Elizabethan Theatre, the Tudor Guild presented OSF with a generous gift.

For over 78 years, the Tudor Guild has supported the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in many ways. Today, not only do they support the Festival financially, but they also lead Campus Tours (Friday and Saturday) and conduct Brass Rubbings (Wednesday through Saturday behind the Allen Elizabethan Theatre).

We're so grateful for this amazing partnership. Thank you, Tudor Guild! Fun Fact: The wooden sign that the group is standing behind was hand painted by Tudor Guild Volunteer Martha Dawkins in 1956.
