A drum, a drum, Doc doth come. But not tomorrow, or tomorrow, or tomorrow, but in two weeks the second session campers will have public performances, moving through the audience with invocations and cauldrons and Birnam wood. Robin and I hope you will attend. Herewith the schedule: Friday, July 15, 3:30 pm, at the Crystal Theater in Gonzales; Saturday, July 16, 3:00 pm, at the La Grange Performing Arts Center; and Sunday, July 17m, at 2:00 pm, at the Theater Barn in Winedale. It would be wonderful to see you!
Here is the reservation link: https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/winedale/performances-and-tickets/current-se… <https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/winedale/performances-and-tickets/current-se…>
It was great getting started again after the Covid lapse of two years. The As You Like It in Session 1 was great fun and indeed well-received and the group was perhaps the best prepared of any in 20 years. Can’t wait to begin Macbeth.
By the way, I thing you have heard there is a November reunion in the works. I hope you are interested in coming. Please contact Mary, Maggie, Gail, or Madge.
I”m also inviting you to participate in the UT Hornraiser: please check this out: Link to make a donation to the HornRaiser: https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931 <https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931> It is a fund-raising effort guided by Robin and backed by Madge (who did the first one last summer) to gather some money for Camp Shakespeare. The window for giving closes Judy 15. Thanks for thinking of that.
I hope that all of you are well. And safe.
Love,
Doc

Dear fellow ancianos,
Do you need some Winedale in your life? A small group of ancianos (the
earliest explorers of Shakespeare at Winedale) has been imagining
possibilities with Doc and one another, and we think it’s high time to get
together again.
A full-scale reunion with complete productions of plays feels unrealistic
for many reasons, but a long weekend of scenes, poems, music, improv,
circles, and messing around really appeals to us.
What are you doing from Thursday, 3 November through Sunday, 6 November? We
have zeroed in on these dates as the likeliest to offer accommodations for
all who need them. (Doc will be our cruise director).
First we need to know your availability and interest. Do you want to play
with other ancianos over the span of a crisp fall weekend? You could choose
a little or a lot. Maybe you will just drive in for the day or maybe you’re
hungrier for the whole enchilada.
Please reply by no later than* July 4, *indicating whether you’ll expect to
be a day-tripper or a full-weekender needing a place to stay. Once we’ve
got a sense of the numbers of participants, we can begin gathering your
views about how we could spend our time in the Barn. Avoiding the "reply
all" option, please send your replies directly to me at
gail.mcdonald100(a)gmail.com and I'll keep the other planners up to date.
Can't wait to hear from you!

Meet the As You Like It Camp Shakespeare players.
Yesterday, I paid a visit to the Forest of Arden - boy it was a hot one!
I treated the young players to an ice cream bar for their dessert.
They seemed to enjoy it and it was my absolute pleasure.
HORNRAISER IS STILL GOING ON….
Let’s keep the amazing momentum going!

DAY TWO HORN-RAISER: CAMP
SHAKESPEARE
Especially for my 1970’s friends,
The Ayres kids should pretty much take credit for the idea of CAMP SHAKESPEARE, right?
I mean, Whitney wrote the plays,
and Jonathan and I did what he told us to do.
We looked forward to performing for all of you at our Edgecliff house after the summer was over.
PLAY IS THE THING, so please donate on the link below the pics to keep it going!

Emily, I remember your folks having our Spring class over for dinner in ‘72 - I was so impressed that a professor would do that! You kids were so cute! Ahh, we were all so young then! ( donated today! ) Lynn

You precious winners all!
The 2nd annual Camp Shakespeare HornRaiser
<https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931> is live!!! It has never been
easier to donate to the programming we love. No amount is too small or too
large!!! Donate, share the link, spread the word!
Any questions? Feel free to write to me and ask. There are categories of
giving set up but you can click on *any category* to set it to *any
amount *that
you want to give.
You can designate your gifts to honor someone or to memorialize someone.
The HornRaiser platform makes it easy, but I am happy to walk you through
the process. My cell phone is below and you can text or call me.
Robin and Doc are excellent stewards of our donations. I know when I make a
donation it directly supports exemplary programming for campers.
As Mr. Shakespeare says: If money go before, all ways do lie open.
Here's the link again! <https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931>
Much love to all,
