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.

I'd cast her as one of the sheep in As You Like It.
Or cast her against type and make her try something like Bardolph or Pistol.
Anything to free her from that vapid stereotype she was stuffed into (although I can't help but admire the swimsuit she was stuffed into).
Poor little chicken.
Shakespeare could have been the saving of her.
I hate the way she ended up.
And what a hoot to think of Ed working at the HRC! Does he still?
love to you all,
Terry

Yes, yes, Aubrey. I remember thinking it was so interesting, that crazy Ed Neal (see "Texas Chainsaw Massacre") working at the HRC!
Question: How would you cast Farrah in a Shakespearean play?
Cressida?
Phoebe?
