From The Siskiyou: Saying Goodbye to Ashland Street Cinemas, an Ashland Favorite

After the movie theater I worked at closed down, my mind went to Ashland Street Cinemas, another movie theater that had a close connection to a community. It sadly closed down in the beginning of 2021. In my first article for that year when writing for the Siskiyou, I wrote about how much the theater had impacted the community, especially the college students who frequented it. Original article can be found here.

In honor of It’s Christmas, Carol!‘s second year at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, I wanted to take this time to republish one of my favorite interviews I wrote for Southern Oregon University’s student newspaper, The Siskiyou. Last year I saw a preview of It’s Christmas, Carol!, and I had the honor of interviewing the director, Pirronne Yousefzadeh about her directing process, what the show meant to her, and her favorite things about Ashland, Oregon.
