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-season/summer-season/index.html

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 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
