Dear fellow Shakespeare at Winedale alumni,
I just wanted to say hello, and to second Doc's invitation to please
find your way back to Winedale for the 40th anniversary celebrations
this summer. Doc's earlier email gives a clear account of plans for
the 'ancianos' reunion week, August 7-15. Many thanks to Doc, and to
Gail, Alice, Terry, Mary, Kirsten, Madge and Mike for all they have
done to help organize this event.
The whole summer season will be a commemoration of the 40th
anniversary, and you are welcome to come at any time to say hi,
participate, and catch up with other former students. During the
summer, we will dedicate each weekend to the students of one decade of
the program, beginning with the 00s on the first weekend and then
moving back through the 90s, 80s, and 70s. We will recognize former
students at performances and will have a light brunch for that
decade's alumni before the Sunday matinee--coffee, kolaches and a
chance to catch up. We hope you can come!
For anyone who wants a chance to get back on the barn stage during the
summer, please consider getting involved in one of the pre-performance
scenes that will be done before all Saturday and Sunday performances.
These are open to all former students (spring or summer); for schedule
and details go to
www.shakespeare-winedale.org and click on 'Reunion
Activities.'
We also be having a reception before the final Saturday night
performance (Twelfth Night, on August 7) to kick off the Reunion
week. However you are able to participate, we want to see you back at
Winedale this summer.
Thanks to everyone. It will be great to see you all soon, and
celebrate together.
All best,
James
