René Auberjonois
by Mike Godwin 09 Dec '19

09 Dec '19

For most people who know of Auberjonois, a prolific and talented actor who has just died at age 79, he's probably mostly famous for his TV roles. But for me, Auberjonois was the first person I ever saw play Edgar in KING LEAR, and every time I saw him afterwards, I always thought back to his performance in that role, in the Joseph Papp-produced version that aired on PBS in Houston (and elsewhere) in 1974. He was excellent and held his own against James Earl Jones (Lear) and Raul Julia (Edmund). Rosalind Cash, whom I had known only from the schlocky Charlton Heston movie THE OMEGA MAN, was a compelling Goneril. Auberjonois's Edgar and Paul Sorvino's Gloucester in many ways stuck in my memory even more than Jones's Lear or Julia's Edmund did. For one thing, it's easier to figure out things about Lear and Edmund and Goneril just from reading the characters on the page, but I didn't understand how someone could be Edgar or Gloucester until I saw Auberjonois and Sorvino play those roles. For another, the play as a whole turned a switch in my mind and made me think, abruptly, that I could perform Shakespeare roles myself and make the language and the characters come alive. I didn't have any plans in high school ever to perform Shakespeare--I had performed in high-school theater of the musical-comedy variety mostly, but it wasn't a career thing--but this TV performance of LEAR seeded in me the desire to perform Shakespeare someday if I ever got a chance. Doc and Shakespeare at Winedale (which I hadn't yet heard of in 1974) gave me that chance. And Auberjonois had showed me how it was possible to perform a classic role and demonstrate things about about a character that one couldn't necessarily see in just reading in the lines.

IF
by James Ayres 02 Dec '19

02 Dec '19

It occurred to me me that it might be useful to have an estimate of how many of you would participate in a week-long reunion next year in August IF we decide to do such a thing? There is much virtue in this IF, for very soon I need to reserve accommodations and arrange meals for that stay, especially IF we are to address Festival Hill for all of that. So please let me know immediately about your availability for that magical IF week. I’d like to be able to pass it on to others on Saturday. Thanks, Doc Jim (Doc) Ayres Professor Emeritus, The University of Texas Founding Director, Shakespeare at Winedale and Camp Shakespeare Director of Mission, Camp Shakespeare

November 30 Reunion-Planning Gathering at Winedale
by James Ayres 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

I’m writing to remind everyone that the reunion-planning session is a go. Saturday, November 30, at Winedale. Arrival time: 10:00 a.m. Departure: (a guess) 2:30 p.m. This far I’ve heard YES from Clayton S., Lynn Mc, Jenny J-P, Mike G, Lavonne C, Jerald H, Robert Stevens, Angela B, Alice G, Kathy B, Jeff L. And as well, some HOPEFULLY YESSES from Mary C, Ann E, Idalia V, and Terry G. I’d like to hear confirmation from the latter group. Of course, James Loehlin will be coming, Madge, myself, and JoAnn. I will be contacting some of the former Camp Shakespeareans about attending as well. Anyway, if you have not written earlier and can make the journey, please let me know this week. Thanks. I will have Mercantile fix sandwiches and stuff for lunch. I’ll let you know the tax for that at the meeting. Hope to hear from you!
