Fwd: Victor Hauser, A Remembrance
by Mike Godwin 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Forwarding a message from David Sharpe about Victor Hauser. Mike ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David Sharpe <dpsharpeaustin(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Aug 14, 2022 at 3:30 PM Subject: Victor Hauser, A Remembrance To: <shakespeare-at-winedale-email-list(a)googlegroups.com> Three weeks ago, when Vic Hauser (a student from the Winedale Summer of 1983) was diagnosed with pneumonia, I and those of us from Winedale-'83 who came to know Vic in his latter years thought that this was going to be just another health problem where he and his hospital doctors and nurses would once again do battle to get a medical handle on it. Vic would then return to his beloved Co-op apartment complex in Austin, and soldier on as he had done so often in the past. In fact, at various times in the last 5 to 8 years, Vic had managed to survive a host of ailments, such as diabetes, throat cancer, lupus, and two cases of pneumonia. He also avoided getting Covid 19 or any of its variants. Vic definitely had a strong will to live. Unfortunately, this time Vic's luck ran out. This time he was not going to win his struggle with his third case of pneumonia, for it was ultimately diagnosed as being terminal by his Austin doctors.. So after giving the matter serious thought and realizing that being trapped in a hospital bed connected to multiple tubes and bags was no way to live, Vic willingly agreed to transfer to the hospice at Christopher House in Austin. It was a brave decision. Six days later Vic's suffering and multiple battles with his chronically compromised health came to an end. He died peacefully on a Friday night, August 12, 2022. Given his host of health issues, Vic was never strong enough to make the long trek from Austin out to Winedale to see a play. However in 2018, Vic, along with Winedale friends Clay Stromberger, Steve Price, and myself, made a car trip to Shakespeare at Winedale to visit Director James Loehlin's summer class, which on that day was in the throes of rehearsal. Before the rehearsal began, James asked the class to sit down on the stage in the Barn, and then introduced Vic (Previously, Vic had asked James - another Winedale-'83 alum - for an opportunity to speak briefly to the class). Standing before them, Vic very simply told the students that they may not realize it at that moment, but what they were going through at Winedale that summer was a unique and very special experience, that it would unlikely come again, and that they should take full advantage of every minute while they were there. Now more ever, this was the time to seize the day. Vic spoke a little more and then sat down. Vic didn't have money to give donations to Winedale - he just had enough money to live on. But he wanted very much to give something back to Shakespeare at Winedale that had given so much to him and for one summer uplifted his life. And going to Winedale and addressing the summer class was his way of giving back. Of course, Vic's message to the students was absolutely true and something that could never be said enough. And in his own quiet but serious way, Vic made his point very powerfully.

Camp Shakespeare — Macbeth Performances Canceled
by Robin Grace Soto 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Dear Camp Shakespeare Supporters, Unfortunately, members of our Session Two class have contracted COVID and in an effort to reduce community spread and ensure the continued safety of our students, staff, and audience members we have collectively decided to end the Camp Shakespeare program early and not move forward with the public performances of *Macbeth *this weekend. (July 15/16/17) We are heartbroken. We are also very grateful for the week we had together as a class. The students formed strong friendships and deeply enjoyed the exploration of their play. We did too. This does not affect the college program— all three of their plays are moving forward and they look forward to hosting you at the Barn this summer to enjoy them. We hope you and yours are well. With Gratitude, Robin Grace & Doc -- *Robin Grace Soto **(she/her)* *|* *Director* *Camp Shakespeare at Winedale* The University of Texas at Austin 204 W 21st Street Stop B5000 Austin, TX 78712 512-471-8743 | www.shakespeare-winedale.org <https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/winedale/programs/camp-shakespeare/index.html>

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 Jim (Doc) Ayres Professor Emeritus, The University of Texas Founding Director, Shakespeare at Winedale and Camp Shakespeare Director of Mission, Camp Shakespeare

invitation to a gathering
by Gail McDonald 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

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! Gail (McDonald) On behalf of Doc Ayres, Mary Collins, Madge Darlington, Mike Godwin, Alice Gordon, Maggie Megaw, and Susan Gayle Todd

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! https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931/wall

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! xoxoxo Emily Ayres https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/31931?utm_source=scalefunder&utm_camp…
