Joy!! Your email brings joy to my heart (I love that you sent it at 2:32 a.m. That's a good time for reflection). Doc: The check, as they say, is in the mail. To the rest of you: Unlike the mega millions jackpot, Camp Shakespeare is a sure thing. Every dime we give turns to gold in this lottery, so pull out your wallets.
Thanks for getting things rolling, Bob.

I double ditto and second everything that has been said about Camp Shakespeare. It has become truly an amazing ever-increasing plethora of remarkable talent. I've wondered if there were perhaps something in the water which continues to cultivate incredible performances by such tiny creatures! How can this be? What is the secret? Am I awake or did I just dream this? Or am I sleeping still?
In brief, every time I go out there is more impressive than the last. These munchkins appear human; however, much of their actions make one doubt. They have an uncanny intelligence and secret communication amongst themselves. There is an old one in the group as well as a couple of younger assistants who do his bidding. Watch him closely for I think he has the secret oracles of the munchkins. I must confess I watch him intently each time and he always outwits me, like trying to catch Santa Claus in action.
It's incredible how entertaining these tiny ones are. How they can learn mega lines and deliver them trippingly on the tongue, lines that almost put me in my grave! How they fly around the stage with so much energy one is sure they will levitate at any moment. I can only tell you these tiny ones hold the keys to your hearts.
Some things in life you don't want to miss. Men and women in Philadelphia and New York, Florida and Oakland now abed shall curse themselves and hold their manhoods and/or womanhoods cheap that they were not here to see another Camp Shakespeare.
I'll look for your faces in the crowd! Tarry not for Time is definitely not on your side.
