As per Carl’s far-reaching suggestions, I would love to contribute in some
meaningful\satisfying way to this momentous occasion!

To me, nothing embodies the unique beauty and value of this program better than
performances.
But considering the magnitude of the anniversary (and what it means in regard to changed
lives), it might be
fun to have time to think about other ways to mark the anniversary during a reunion
week.
For example, without setting sail for producing an encyclopedia, is there some kind of
print piece that could
celebrate/memorialize what the last 50 years have meant, and thank Doc for putting it all
in motion?
Something could be done online as well/instead.
If everyone from the last 50 years who might want to come stay in the country can’t be
accommodated (or
can’t make it for whatever reason), are there meaningful/satisfying ways they could
contribute?
I imagine a good number of these eloquent folks would be able to put something in writing
about how
Winedale changed them, for example.
Something like that could get started well in advance, and could be posted online without
creating an
excessive burden on Clayton (or others) or involving big expense. I could help with that,
if desired.
Maybe there are other ways to engage alumni as well.
The play’s the thing, but if everyone can’t be on stage, I think it would be fun to find
ways to
present as many voices from the past 50 years as possible. Aside from the inclusion
factor, this
could result in a worthy representation of just how much good Doc and the program have
accomplished.
There might be “events” along the way as well, before or during the week, that could
contribute to all this.
Thinking about that well in advance could help sort through the possibilities, what can
realistically be executed,
etc.
Some thoughts, as requested.
Love to all,
Carl

Me too! Me too! Two plays--or three, according to Doc's 3-play Summer tradition? Why
not? At Winedale, anything is possible.
I'm always up for hosting pre-2020 meet-ups at Scottish Rite Theater if that's
helpful and convenient.
I love you, Doc, and I'm also eager to make hay while the sun shines.

Only a few of you will remember that famous line spoken by Alice Gordon in 1973 at the
end of The Tempest for which she won the Boatswain Award for good news. Major moment.
You had to be there.
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,
Doc
