As Heather mentioned, there is a lot to be gained from reading this list. I think this may be my first time contributing, but I'd say this is the right audience:
WNYC In Collaboration with The Public Present
Free Shakespeare on the Radio
Production of
RICHARD II
Brought to you in a serialized broadcast in four parts airing on WNYC
By William Shakespeare
Conceived for the Radio and Directed by Saheem Ali
FROM OPEN AIR TO ON THE AIR! Join WNYC and The Public Theater as we bring Free Shakespeare in the Park to the airwaves with William Shakespeare’s RICHARD II. Brought to you in a serialized radio broadcast over four nights, listen as the last of the divinely anointed monarchs descends and loses it all. When King Richard banishes his cousin Henry Bolingbroke and deprives him of his inheritance, he unwittingly creates an enemy who will ultimately force him from the throne. One of the Bard’s only dramas entirely in verse, this epic and intimate play presents the rise of the house of Lancaster through a riveting tale of lost sovereignty, political intrigue, and psychological complexity. Directed by Saheem Ali, experience this beautiful and cutting play in an exciting serialized radio format from wherever you are.
“A fractured society. A man wrongfully murdered. The palpable threat of violence and revenge against a broken system. Revolution and regime change. This was Shakespeare’s backdrop for Richard II. I’m exceptionally proud of this production, recorded for public radio with a predominantly BIPOC ensemble, led by the extraordinary André Holland,” said director Saheem Ali. “It’s my hope that listening to Shakespeare’s words, broadcast in the midst of a pandemic and an uprising, will have powerful resonance in our world.”
In support of the fight against racism and inequality and in recognition of the unspeakable violence against Black communities, The Public Theater and the artists of RICHARD II dedicate this production to the Black Lives Matter Movement. There are a number of organizations and communities who support Black communities on the front lines. We encourage you to make a contribution to support their efforts.

Hello friends-
I hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times. I wanted to let
everyone know about a new program Shakespeare at Winedale is rolling out as
part of the anniversary celebrations - "A Hundred Merry Tales (or More) of
Winedale"
We just announced this on our Facebook page, but I thought I'd share the
info below, since I'm hoping y'all might be interested in participating.
Let me know what questions you have!
All the best,
Liz
----------------------------------------
“...that I had my good wit out of the 'Hundred Merry Tales’ — well this was
Signior Benedick that said so.”
Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing, 2.1
In his annual Camp Shakespeare email this spring, Doc wrote:
"This might be a good time to take turns telling stories to one another as
we travel together during this suffering, following the ten in the
Decameron during the plague of 1348. Or share with one another ‘journey'
stories of our own. Shakespeare’s imagination was alive during the plague
years. We need to keep that spirit going and ours!”
In that spirit, we are launching “A Hundred Merry Tales (or More) of
Winedale.” We are inviting anyone who has a personal connection to Winedale
— as a player, student, patron, local resident, employee, you name it — to
contribute a short video of you telling a story of a favorite Winedale
“journey” or moment. It could be about Winedale the place, or your times at
Winedale as a student, really any story that has Winedale as its center or
setting, since the journey out to Winedale is the beginning of a lifelong
love for all of us.
The invitation to tell stories has been a key theme to the reunion season
this year, and we’d love to build an online “virtual Barn” where we can
gather to share and hear stories of playing, working, and experiencing rich
moments of life at Winedale. This is also a way of gathering stories to
permanently archive them.
The stories can be filmed in any way you feel would best help tell the
story. We are suggesting a five-minute limit. They could be a short as 30
seconds! The stories will be posted online for everyone to enjoy.
Interested? Email Liz at lfisher(a)austin.utexas.edu for instructions on how
to upload your video today!
Hi all,
My sincere apologies for not being in touch sooner about the 50th Reunion
Plans. Let me confirm what many have expected or surmised...we will not
meet in person this summer to celebrate as planned. James' Shakespeare at
Winedale class will not meet in person at Winedale and Doc's & Robin's Camp
Shakespeare will not be in person either. Both programs will continue with
meetings and celebrations virtually and expect to move the in-person
programs to next summer.
A small group of us has been meeting and talking on Zoom about the 50th
Reunion activities. Yes, we will have an in-person reunion in future, but
for now, let's collaborate on ways to celebrate online. We want to keep the
dates we'd planned, Friday, August 14 and Saturday, August 15, for the
online 50th celebrations.
Doc confirmed that we will be allowed to share the new Winedale Documentary
"Take Pains, Be Perfect" with our community on the evening of August 14. We
still hope to share some music that evening as well. People like Mary,
Alice, Gayle, and Maggie, who were already making plans for the programming
on Saturday, August 15 will continue to make plans for how we can celebrate
that day.
>From the beginning of our 50th anniversary planning, we have expressed
these desires:
• to include as many people as possible in the celebration, including past
participants, friends, family, patrons and donors
• to make time to visit and connect with one another and
• to share and listen to stories about our experiences.
While we are sad not to realize these desires in person this year, we are
lucky that we can still reach out to one another and connect over our
shared experience, our love for Winedale, our love for Shakespeare, and our
love for one another.
More on the virtual reunion to come.
Much love,
Madge
