UPDATE re IMPORTANT DEADLINE for Gift for Madge
Regarding our planned gift for Madge, we want to thank you for all your support for her stewardship of the Winedale program and students this summer. If you've sent a contribution via Venmo, Zelle or another way, we will respond to you with a note of thanks, as soon as we can. If you have not heard from us within a couple days, please email Jon or Kathy directly.
Our intention is to present this gift to Madge by Wednesday this week, so we ask that you contribute, if you still wish to, before *Monday, August 11, 2025 by 5:00pm*. (We've pushed it back to Monday.)
Thanks again to you all. We are grateful for your generosity and support of her. Today is the final day of this summer's performances. The fruits of their labors have been a real joy to experience. Hope you were able to catch some of the performances this summer.
Thanks, and ever thanks.
Jon, Kathy, Stan, and Mike

Dear Friends and Shakespeare at Winedale Family,
Last year, a group of former students of Winedale--from the prehistoric ages to the present, from local terrain to places afar--presented Madge Darlington a gift to honor her “taking up the torch” in the summer and keeping the light of Winedale burning. The outpouring of generosity allowed us to present Madge with a $2,000 check acknowledging and celebrating her nurturing of the playful, risk-taking landscape built by Doc and cultivated by James for years.
This year, after another summer of fostering hilarious, heartbreaking, and super-creative work from students, we again hope to honor Madge’s contribution to the program. If her outrageously skillful guidance of Shakespeare at Winedale this summer wasn’t enough, her immense grace in doing so during a transition to new leadership has displayed her grit, her compassion, and her immense love of this incredible program.
If you wish, please consider a contribution. Any amount will be make this gift meaningful.
For Venmo, on the app send to:
@Jon-Watson-49 and add the last four digits of his cell phone= 6175
For Zelle, this is the info you need:
Jon Watson
512-803-6175
PNC Bank
Please make a note "for Madge."
Or you can give cash or checks to Jon at Winedale at the performances this weekend on Saturday evening or at either of the Sunday performances.
