Eugene Magazine

Art, love, ambition, and one of musical theater’s most celebrated scores come together as Cottage Theatre presents Sunday in the Park with George.

Stephen Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning production brings Georges Seurat’s famous painting to life through stunning visuals, moving performances, and a story about creativity, connection, and the passage of time. Running June 5–21, the production offers audiences a chance to experience one of theater’s most thoughtful and visually striking musicals right here in Cottage Grove.

We loved this issue’s community hero on The Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson House!

Castle on the Hill Unbeknownst to some, Eugene is home to a castle. It is not a fortress with a king or queen present, and there is no moat or drawbridge.

Scenes from the opening day of the Springfield Farmers Market on Sunday, and it could not have been more beautiful. We’re so excited to see the continued growth and expansion of Lane County Farmers Market and the incredible community that surrounds it.

June arrives in Eugene with paint on the walls, music in the streets, and a packed calendar of community celebration.

Call it research. Call it a spiritual journey. We’re still reeling from a weekend in Dundee wine country. We checked into The Setting Inn Willamette Valley, sipped our way through Domaine Roy & Fils and Penner-Ash (those views!), lingered over lunch at Trellis, fueled up at Red Hills Market, tossed in one forgettable dinner at JORY at the Allison Inn, and finished where all great wine pilgrimages should end: Domaine Serene. The Boss Hog. Epic from start to finish. We’ll be back before the dust settles.
