I seem to recall that there was no director; it was to be ensemble-led. The cast list, courtesy of the Steve Price archives: [cid:image001.jpg@01DA76F5.A602D700] I have fond memories of James’s sweet and winning Rafe… Mark and Elise were as funny as you would imagine… I remember Steve’s exuberant Merrythought… Sadly the warning at the bottom of the sheet – “Opening night is sooner than you think” – did not prove true. Opening night never came; the company dissolved a few weeks into rehearsals after a few key players left for various reasons and no one had the extra time that semester to plug the gaps and rebuild momentum. I remember a somber final meeting in Calhoun Hall, with all of us sitting around on benches and on the floor outside Doc’s basement office, as the group decided to let the idea go. It still gives many of us a pang that we never had a chance to see this Winedale-inspired “Pestle” in its full potential glory… What a cast list!

Do we know if there are any photos from the Winedale Knight of the Burning Pestle that are shareable on here? What year was that? 1980s? KOBP and Shoemaker’s Holiday were the first non-Shakespeare plays out at Winedale once y’all started doing full plays, is that right? Or no? I’m writing a chapter dedicated to KOBP for my book on citizenship with Arden/Bloomsbury press and I’ve already given a talk based on my work using pics from the ASC Blackfriars production. I’d love to incorporate/celebrate some images from Winedale as well in future presentations! Doc, how did y’all stage the citizen and wife when they say they’ll sit down on stage? Did you use benches on stage? Cheers, all!

Happy Day!
by Heather Dolstra 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

I join my anceanos and all those who came after in wishing Doc the happiest of days.This weekend a friend of mine, recently moved from Maine to Staunton, Virginia, posted a photo and comment about having seen Midsummer's Night in the Blackfriar Theater and how impressed they were. I dug into my emails and found the exchange we had when Doc and James Loehlin received the "Burbage Award" in that theater for their work with SAW. The short but sweet description of their dedication to their students and to the Bard brought me to tears. I had to miss that ceremony but was there in spirit.

Artolier Corp.
by Madge Darlington 16 Mar '24

16 Mar '24

Hi Friends, The Theatre Barn at Winedale has four vintage lanterns that I'm sure you will recognize. Two are in the front and two are in the back. Two of the four glass chimneys are broken. Rather than replace the fixtures, I would love to track down some replacement glass chimneys. They are an unusual size. The glass chimney says "Artolier Corp." in cursive writing at the top of the glass. It is approximately 9" tall with a fitted top of 4.5" and a fitted bottom of 5". Below I've pasted pics and links of ones I've found online, but these have already been sold. Are any Shakespeare sleuths or antique pickers out there willing to join me in this search? If we could find them, I believe Winedale Historical Center would reimburse us for the cost. [image: Screenshot 2024-03-11 at 9.33.03 PM.png] [image: Screenshot 2024-03-11 at 9.34.24 PM.png] Here are the links where I found the pics above: https://www.blackrockgalleries.com/product/antique-copper-lantern-by-artoli… https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/rare-street-light-globe-artolier-cor… Happy hunting!
