Laura,
You took the most memorable photographs of Winedale. All those black and white beauties.
You always caught something else at work besides the "play" -- whether the play
was at the Waggoner's or in the barn.
Who better to chronicle the 50th.
With love and admiration,
Terry

I would like to participate photography-wise.. (no memorization required, and I am slow of
study these days...)... however I can be used.. I am no professional, but an enthusiastic
amateur and ready to celebrate in any way by active and appreciative observation !

Amazing responses today! 30 in all I think. And some grand ideas to toss back and forth.
I’m looking forward to hearing from everyone. Yes, it is early, but the 2015 experience
behind me, I can assure you that physical arrangements (room, board, venue) will take well
over a year to plan.
So here’s what we have so far from you: approval of the early start, the committee idea,
at least two plays, including Camp Shakespeareans, having retreat(s) or meetings before
reunion, and exploring a variety of ways to celebrate the 50th. There is some concern
with early meetings and venues but I’d certainly hate for us to be worried at this point
about what we think will not work. Your letters say that you are eager to play again.
Let’s go from there.
Beginning, we need to talk with James about what plans he has for the 50th. I have begun
that conversation and will continue in September. Next, I think it would be good to have
a committee of 6 or 8 to develop ideas for possible schedules, “retreats” or “early
meetings” prior to the reunion week and play selection. If we could get something of a
broad outline of that set down, we could begin to talk to folks about reservations. And
maybe another committee of say 4-6 begin thinking about other ways of celebrating the
50th, involving Camp kids and James’ students as well, and former students who can come
for only the weekend of performances and the great meal!
One thing IS clear: we cannot use the Winedale stage for work or play until James is
through and that may be August 17. And another: the fee will be about $1,000 per person.
I can tell already that there is interest in general gatherings of the performing groups
(like the Wednesday evening in 2015) so if we increased the number of days, there might be
two such times for that.
All for now, with thanks!
Doc
