Libby Appel (born May 14, 1937)[1] served as the fourth artistic director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) from 1995 to June 2007.[2] Appel directed more than 25 productions at OSF, and her artistic vision influenced the 11 plays presented each year during her tenure. Despite the festival's name, she placed increased emphasis on new works. “We have made major connections with world playwrights, artists whose voices we’re particularly interested in.” Appel said. “We commission playwrights, we develop plays here; we have playwrights in residence. We’re a world force now, and I’m really proud of that.”[3]
