Here are my picks - I am very much the least qualified
person to do
this, as I am not intimate with the plays in a way that
is helpful - my
excuse is simple but profound: in the past 12 days we
have had one
college graduation, one high school graduation, two
family birthdays and
adopted a baby. Another 24 hours is not going to make a
difference for
me - I will be thrilled with whatever is collectively
decided.

Action!**
Dear Fellow Winedale Weeklongians,
On behalf of Doc and the Committee of Cheerleaders, I
hereby emit a
big
Go, Team, Go!
We would like to get the whole scenes-choosing and
role-casting
process
done and roles disseminated by June 6, when the first
session of Camp
Shakespeare begins and Doc will be all-consumed by it. To
meet that
deadline, we must strictly adhere to the ones leading up
to it.
Attached is the revised master list of scenes I sent you
a few days
ago.
A a few people weighed in with a more ideas. Also, Robert
Jackson,
please forgive me for not including your list of scenes
the first time
around. It and newer material is now included and marked
in bold-face
type.
Here is the process just ahead:
By Midnight, MAY 31: Send your top ten scenes to
alicegordon@earthlink.net. (I will immediately forward
all lists to
Doc
and the Committee. Just trying to give everyone only one
email address
to type in.) Considering the themes we've all been
talking about,
please
send us your top ten scenes from the complete list. Feel
free either
to
cherry-pick from the list; to vote for one of the
concepts sketched
out
or fully fledged by Gail, Robert P, Robert J, or Matt; or
to choose
both
concept and scenes to make your own list. (If I have
overlooked other
concepts since the whole group has been talking, please
remind us all
as
soon as you can). Kathy and Jayne's and Clayton's
proposals seem ways
and examples of how to approach any group of scenes once
we're at
Winedale, and feel free to state your support or comments
about such
approaches as well. Our sense is that a lot of us are
excited about
what
they are suggesting.
Please keep in mind the time limit we've set forth and
the number
of
participants in each scene. Doc urges us to favor
ensemble scenes (six
or more characters) in the balance, and also to balance
longer and
shorter scenes. Remember there will be weekenders and
audience pop-ups
with whom we will share the matinee.
By June 2: Doc and Committee come up with final list of
scenes. The
committee and Doc will look at the preferences
mathematically, see
what
rises to the top, and then work out the final choices by
considering
ensemble or what works better or what's more appropriate
for the
context. Once we have the final list, it will be sent out
to
everybody.
Please keep an eye on your email inbox that day.
By June 3: Your requests or preferences, if any. When you
get that
list,
please let us know if you have very special preferences
for roles you
would like to play or scenes you would like to take part
in. Once we
get
that information, we'll have at the casting.
June 5: Deadline for roles to be cast.
June 6: List of roles sent to whole group.
Courage! This will mean a fast week-plus coming up.
Make your best haste,
All best wishes,
Alice
