July 23-August 9
Oregon Festival of American Music
Where: The Shedd - Eugene, Oregon
When: Various Times - Visit website for schedule
Time After Time: Great Moments in American Songbook History
Broadway saw many "great moments" throughout the 20th century, and we're visiting several of them in the course of this year's festival concert offerings. For one of Broadway's greatest, Richard Rodgers, the year 1943 held special significance: it saw both the end of his long-standing and brilliant collaboration with Lorenz Hart and the beginning of his shorter but equally brilliant collaboration with Oscar Hammerstein II. And it saw a significant shift as well in the style of show that his team created, from the witty, urbane musical comedies at which Rodgers & Hart excelled in the 1920s and '30s, to the serious, almost operatic musical dramas that marked Rodgers and Hammerstein's work during the 1940s and '50s.

Indeed, it could be argued that 1943 was a watershed year not only for Richard Rodgers, but for Broadway too. Certainly, fully-integrated, serious musical theatre had been attempted--and had often succeeded magnificently--before Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! opened at The St. James Theatre on March 31, 1943.

Eugene Celebration 2009
Where: Downtown - Eugene, Oregon
When: Friday | Saturday | Sunday
Reflecting the times and Eugene's unique identity, the 2009 theme is "Strange We Can Believe In." A true grass-roots, community event, the Eugene Celebration seeks early input from the public to bring the theme to life. The board of directors is excited to announce a poster contest for which our community's talented and vibrant artists can submit work for consideration.

The Eugene Celebration was created in 1983 by the City of Eugene to bring together the Eugene community for three days of music and fun. In 1997, the City offered the management of the Celebration to the public and private sectors. Downtown Eugene, Inc. (DEI), a property owners association, stepped forward to accept the offer. In April 1998, Downtown Events Management, Inc. (DEMI) was launched to manage the Celebration.

The Eugene Celebration is managed by the all-volunteer Board of Directors for Downtown Events Management Inc (DEMI). Kesey Enterprises Inc. returns as the production company for this year's event. Together, DEMI and Kesey Enterprises Inc. are working hard to produce a community-building event that is fun for all ages. We are committed to producing a safe and fun event that brings the community together in downtown Eugene to celebrate the beautiful place we call home.
