Hi everyone --
Remember the photographer who was slipping quietly among us backstage during the performance? None of us knew who she was, but she seemed to know what she was doing. Mystery solved. Here's her work, and it's wonderful...

Dear friends,
I spent 9 hours in airports and 9 hours on a plane on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I am still recovering from that purgatorial state and from the rigors of our week in Winedale. I am also slow to process events that have had great emotional significance for me. That's why I've not written before now.
I admit to feeling some trepidation about returning to Winedale: to my 20-year-old self, to acting again, to The Barn and its memories. But I see now that I was foolish to worry: from the first, every last one of you embraced me as if I were an old friend and made me feel I belonged there. And I can say without even an iota of exaggeration that I have never been in the company of so many extraordinary individuals. All of you so gifted in multiple ways and all of you imbued with the special passion for Shakespeare and for communal creativity that makes Winedale Winedale. It was rare company, and I am profoundly grateful to have been with you all--singing, eating, working, sweating, checking our streams. Extraordinary.
Here's how to contact me when you come to London:
>From the States, the number is 011-44-20-7374-2550. The address is 161 Lauderdale Tower, the Barbican, London EC2Y 8BY. I can't offer to put you up, I'm afraid, but I can feed you a good dinner and go to the theater with you and introduce you to Russ, who is prepared to love you all after I've reported on our time together. Please, please call if you know you are coming. I'd be hurt if you didn't.
If you've requested book titles or websites or other information, I'll write to you separately.
For now, I send my love and gratitude.

Madge and Terry and Gerald,
Thanks so much for remembering Angeline! I can never enter the serving kiosk at Winedale without picturing Angeline's beautiful smile, usually sweaty from that monstrously hot kitchen but never too busy to say a few words, always encouraging. If you worked at it she would let you hug her. I loved those Southern fried goodness meals although to my chagrin, in the evenings it was difficult to chow down those pork chops and gravy in record time (never any time to gnaw the bone) and then try to squeeze into leotards. I confess once I actually hid my pork chop so I could thoroughly enjoy it later after rehearsal but some cur nabbed it (I always suspected Michael Godwin).
Thanks, Gerald, for the tales of the olden days at Wagner store. I remember on Saturday nights, the country folks would bring the kids who would be asleep on palates on the floor as the evening grew longer and the adults drank and danced. Delphine whose voice was strong and beautiful singing those German songs... Rosalie always dressed up and smiling, Rollie and Marilyn, that black cauldron and the amazing hunter's stew, and
Lauerdale House - such wonderful memories. Once John Rando was going to turn off a lamp in Miss Ima's parlor and it took us 30 minutes to figure out the light switch was on the floor, a little button one activated with the foot....how quaint. Sitting on the front porch of Miss Ima's or the just rocking on the back porch.....watching the world go by....
We have our biological families and we have our Winedale family. I am so thankful to be a part of our band of brother and sisters and of course, Doc who let us be a part of his vision, to whom we owe it all!
Thine by yea or nay,
Joy
Hilarious. I never saw this from a front row view.
