Thanks to Detective Jackson and Michael, I have copies of the letter I
sent. For those of you who have misplaced it, here it is:
Plans for former students of the first 30 years (the so-called
"ancianos") are these:
1. A week-long in residence opportunity to work on scenes from Sh in
the Theater Barn toward a public Reunion Performance on Saturday,
August 14, at 2:00 p.m. Dates of this adventure: Saturday, August 7
(arriving at 5:00 p.m.) through Sunday, August 15 (departing at 10.00
a.m.) Participants will be staying at the Shelby B & B 5 miles from
Winedale. Cost for each participant is $320. All meals will be taken
at Winedale in Wagner House at no charge. Sh at W fill fund that.
Should you have interest in this adventure, please let me know before
April 1. Deadline. On April 1, the committee of young women noted
above, will select 20 from those who "apply." They will also select
the scenes and assign roles.
2. Should you not have time or inclination for the week-long
opportunity, you may be interested in a shortened version we hope to
schedule Thursday, August 12 (arriving at 3:00 p.m. through Sunday,
August 15 (departing at 10:00 a.m.) Those interested in this
opportunity will work on short scenes, speeches, poems, etc., which
will be performed at various times, e.g., as interludes between the
scenes on Saturday, as performances at the brunch or at the reunion
dinner, or just anytime the spirit strikes. Those working in this way
will stay at B & B's in the area. Or possibly at Winedale in Wagner
House. Again, all meals will be taken at Winedale.
3. Should you not have time for either of the above, we hope that you
will attend any part of reunion week that you can, feeling free to
drop in at any time, any day, but certainly to be present all day
Saturday, August 15, and hopefully Sunday morning following. I can
guide those in 2 and 3 to overnight B & B stays.
Most important to us at this point is that you make plans now to come
to Winedale for the reunion, find your way back here. For any part of
what we are planning. Bring everyone you love. Kids and other friends.
Here's a tentative schedule for Reunion Day, Saturday, August 14:
10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Brunch. With performances by Camp
Shakespeare kids and just anyone else.
2:00 p.m. Performance of scenes by week-long ancianos and others (see
#2 above).
6:30 p.m. Reunion banquet. More performances.
Sunday, August 15:
Breakfast at Winedale 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
Departure: 10:00 a.m.
I will of course have to learn how many to expect and on what days for
meals (breakfast, lunch, supper) at Winedale.
So there's your invitation.
Doc
