Great to get the discussions going....how quickly time passes!
I like LaVonne's and Madge's ideas and was thinking myself that it would be
wonderful to be more inclusive of all former students in a variety of performances.
Perhaps instead of (or in addition to) doing full plays, we could open it up to any
person or groups who wish to perform..... a song, a monologue, a small or a large or part
of a scene, duels or sword fights or any solo or group performances. Many pieces could be
worked up and ready to perform, or ready after short rehearsal periods....like the
weekenders who performed under the pecan trees a few reunions ago. Perhaps we put out a
challenge to have a group from each summer class perform something together. Although
that would be 50 groups plus the 20 years of camp performers. Wow. Lots of
possibilities!
Just pondering....Kathy

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Doc! LaVonne, I like your idea of 2 days. I love
mixing the generations...Ancianos, James' students, and Robin and the Camp Shakespeare
students/alums all intermingled.
I'm happy to host a reunion summit in Austin if we decide that would be helpful in the
planning.

Thanks, as always, for envisioning ahead! Maybe we could have two performances on two
days: The first could be those who come for a week, performing on Saturday; the other
could be more improvisational—those who arrive for the weekend and have scenes memorized
ahead and prepare/work together on Saturday and perform Sunday.
I can’t wait!LaVonne

Next summer Shakespeare at Winedale will celebrate its 50th anniversary and Camp
Shakespeare will celebrate its 20th. This is clearly an historic occasion, something we
should celebrate and indeed something that The University of Texas should celebrate.
James and I will be getting together soon to exchange ideas about that celebration. I’d
like to hear your ideas. Preparation for the 45th anniversary, when we took on two plays
with some 42 folks, took an entire year. We need to begin that planning very soon, at
least draw up a broad outline. I will be very busy beginning June 1 with Camp Shakespeare
and will not be free until July 20 or so. But that should not discourage you from
exchanging emails and tossing them my way.
So let’s get rolling.
Take pains, be perfect,
Doc
