 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.

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
