Allen Elizabethan Theatre, Open-air theatre in Ashland, United States.
The Allen Elizabethan Theatre features a trapezoidal main stage with intricate balconies and windows, accommodating 1,200 spectators in ascending arcs on the hillside.
Built in 1959 following designs by Richard L. Hay, the theatre incorporates exact stage dimensions from London's 1599 Fortune Theatre construction contract.
The theatre presents both Shakespearean plays and contemporary productions as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival from late spring through early fall.
The venue provides accessible seating options, pre-show discussions, and multiple ticket price tiers available through the box office or online reservation system.
Before each performance, an actor raises a flag through the gable window to announce the start of the show, continuing a tradition since the theatre's opening.
