Ah...I saw that performance... a newcomer in the audience, who sat in awe of how gracefully and unflappably you encountered that bold chicken and looked her in the eye, and made such apt reference to her in your big soliloquy as if it were the most natural thing in the world.....that was part of the wonder that drew me to Winedale the next summer and many many times thereafter... fondly, Blackbird

1983 - A live chicken made an appearance in Hamlet, Act III, scene i. She made her exit roughly around the line: "there's the respect that make calamity of so long life," after Hamlet gave her the boot.

the chicken appeared with us in 1979 in AYLI It also appeared in 1980 in CE (as did felt fruit - I remember Robin and the Jaynes sisters sewing madly) It has appeared in the reunion performances in 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005 ("this dog, my dog..."). Rebekah has ensured that the camp program has had a rubber chicken every summer since inception (including this summer) - the chicken has an honored place in our home.
Bruce, if you have an email address for the rubber chicken, I'll add it to the alumni mailing list.
