Great to get the discussions going....how quickly time passes!
I like LaVonne's and Madge's ideas and was thinking myself that it would be
wonderful to be more inclusive of all former students in a variety of
performances. Perhaps instead of (or in addition to) doing full plays, we
could open it up to any person or groups who wish to perform..... a song, a
monologue, a small or a large or part of a scene, duels or sword fights or any
solo or group performances. Many pieces could be worked up and ready to
perform, or ready after short rehearsal periods....like the weekenders who
performed under the pecan trees a few reunions ago. Perhaps we put out a
challenge to have a group from each summer class perform something together.
Although that would be 50 groups plus the 20 years of camp performers. Wow.
Lots of possibilities!
Just pondering....Kathy

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Doc! LaVonne, I like your idea of 2 days.
I love mixing the generations...Ancianos, James' students, and Robin and the
Camp Shakespeare students/alums all intermingled.
I'm happy to host a reunion summit in Austin if we decide that would be helpful
in the planning.

Thanks, as always, for envisioning ahead! Maybe we could have two performances
on two days: The first could be those who come for a week, performing on
Saturday; the other could be more improvisational—those who arrive for the
weekend and have scenes memorized ahead and prepare/work together on Saturday
and perform Sunday.
I can’t wait!LaVonne

Next summer Shakespeare at Winedale will celebrate its 50th anniversary and
Camp Shakespeare will celebrate its 20th. This is clearly an historic
occasion, something we should celebrate and indeed something that The
University of Texas should celebrate.
James and I will be getting together soon to exchange ideas about that
celebration. I’d like to hear your ideas. Preparation for the 45th
anniversary, when we took on two plays with some 42 folks, took an entire year.
We need to begin that planning very soon, at least draw up a broad outline. I
will be very busy beginning June 1 with Camp Shakespeare and will not be free
until July 20 or so. But that should not discourage you from exchanging emails
and tossing them my way.
So let’s get rolling.
Take pains, be perfect,
Doc
