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.
