In my earlier letter, I invited your support for Camp Shakespeare ’16 and also for chair-back name plates for the new (and very comfortable) cushioned chairs in the Theater Barn. Two things. When actually they are one. By purchasing a plaque—at $300 each--you have your choice of supporting Camp Shakespeare, Shakespeare at Winedale, or Shakespeare Outreach. The plaques cost only about $ 20.00 or so. The balance goes to the program of your choice. By my figuring—240 chairs—we have the potential of raising $72,000. What part of that comes to Camp Shakespeare is up to donors. But whatever does, will go into the endowment in my name initiated by Jayne and Rick Suhler, for Camp Shakespeare.
In one week after announcing this, I already have pledges for 33 chairs for Camp Shakespeare! That’s $9.900 already! And James students and the friends have pledged 15 or so more chairs for Shakespeare at Winedale. So things are moving along! Thanks for considering this. When the list grows to 100, I will send everyone the list of donors and honorees. That is, if the donors approve.
Have a very happy Spring Break.

Like how much easier school was back then - because they didn't have to study Shakespeare
Agreed - don't watch while eating drinking.

Not sure I would recommend watching the documentary while drinking your morning coffee. I ended up snorting coffee through my nose I was laughing so hard. Cunk's take on Shakespeare reminds me of Anna Russell's spoofs on Wagner. However, despite the LOL irreverence, Clayton's right: you do come away learning new stuff.

Hey everyone —
If you’re around the UT area at lunchtime the next three days (Mon.-Wed.), a dozen different Outreach groups will be performing roughly from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the B. Iden Payne in the Winship Drama Building. Admission is free and you can come and go as you need to (the kids’ll never know, there are seats way up there in the back). Come see scenes from Tempest, Richard II, Midsummer, Macbeth, Hamlet, Merchant, and even Sir Thomas More…!
Parking is available on Dean Keeton or at the San Jacinto garage.
Cheers,
cs
