The Oregon Shakespeare Festival has developed from a mid year open air arrangement in the 1930s to a season that stretches from February to October, fusing Shakespearean and non-Shakespearean plays at three theaters. The OSF has turned into the biggest provincial repertory theater in the United States. The Oregon Cabaret Theater highlights musicals and satire consistently.

The name Lithia originates from characteristic mineral water found in the Ashland area.
