Dear Ancianos,
Here are the results of all the
discussion, voting, to'ing, fro'ing, phone consulting, spreadsheets,
line counts and so on. Hurrah! We hope it is an accurate reflection of
the general consensus. We've tried to include lots of scenes with
plenty of speakers, mixing the sad and the happy, the solemn and the
serious, and to give the performance a structure related to playing
(with a tip of the hat to our original theme). There will still be time for discussion
about transitions between scenes and even whether we
need to trim further. The scenes with their speakers are listed below
and as an attachment.
Doc will have time as of July 9, once Camp Shakespeare's AYLI performs, to do the
casting, so please read/reread, and decide
which TWO substantial roles you would most like to play. We have listed
nearly all the roles, for context, but are asking for your desires re:
the strongest voices in the scenes. Please email your choices to Doc and the committee
(tried to put this info in a line for you, but it didn't work):
Mary Collins <mmcollins50(a)yahoo.com>om>; James Ayres <jayres(a)cvctx.com>om>; McDonald
G. <G.McDonald(a)soton.ac.uk>uk>; Madge
Darlington <mmdarlington(a)gmail.com>om>; Stan Kern <stan(a)texashealingarts.com>
Terry Galloway <tlgalloway(a)aol.com
Alice Gordon <alicegordon(a)earthlink.net
Almost there! thanks for your patience, and
we can now begin having those dreams where we somehow forgot to learn
our lines....
Love and best wishes to all,
The Committee and Doc
