I would love to be a part of the 2020 reunion! I am not sure what being on
the Reunion committee would entail, but I am happy to support however I can
(from Los Angeles for now).

My initial thoughts:
I like the reunion committee as it takes some pressure off you Doc
and allows a way to get organized before we arrive. Plus, it gave us the
longest lead time of any reunion so we could learn lines and coordinate
costuming.
I think that committing to two plays allows more people to
participate and (despite the frustration of having to separate the groups
during the day) it gives the opportunity to stretch and push each other. I
suspect that we are all a bit slow of study as more of us will be covered
by Medicare or close to it…
I think that we would need clear goals to accomplish in the “meetup
or two” to justify doing that, but would never pass up an opportunity to
hang out with Shakespeareans from Winedale!
Would also ask Doc to think about how we might incorporate alumni
from the Camp Shakespeare experience – I suspect that we can all learn from
each other…

I want to circulate the idea that maybe we could do a meetup or
retreat (or two) before 2020, mainly to think through what we might do
in 2020 that builds on what we've done before.
For me, 2015 was hugely challenging, in different ways than previous
reunions had been--and it was the best, just because I was more
challenged and in ways I'd never been before. Apart from the retreats
idea (which may need to be reframed into something more useful or
practical), I just want to keep stretching, keep learning how to go
beyond my comfort zone, and I've learned, thanks to all of you and
especially to you, Doc, to keep doing that.
(Also, Camp Shakespeare folks? Cool!)

Only a few of you will remember that famous line

Well, the best news now is that the kids in Camp Shakespeare
explored new
worlds and met delightful inhabitants in Navarre
(LLL), Sicilia and
Bohemia
(WT) and celebrated their discoveries for
wonderful audiences. We
had
another great summer. Thanks to those of you who
contributed to
their
success through gift and audience. We are
growing another
generation of
Shakespeareans, many of them sons and daughters
of you guys.
We are also approaching the 50th—count ‘em f i f t y— anniversary of
Shakespeare at Winedale in 2020. So I’d like to hear some
suggestions about
how to celebrate THIS
reunion. A week in the country again? Two plays again? Or one?
Yes, it is
early, but this one is big and may be my last,
alas. So please give
it some
thought. I guess that we would once again need a
“reunion
committee”? What
do you think? I’m eager to get a’going.
With a hay and a ho and a hey nonny,
