Beloved Ancianos from 1970-2000, Plans are coming together for our April Archive-Spring Play-Festival of Play-First 55th SAW Anniversary Reunion Weekend! A group of us zoomed Sunday evening and we have roughed out a schedule for our days in Round Top and Winedale, and we thought you might find it enticing to see the plans so far! We will be doing our archive work in the classroom at Winedale thanks to Madge’s kind invitation to set up there. This will give us space to spread out, technology so we can project photos for all to view together, and the added benefit that any Ancianos who come out on Saturday for the Festival of Play can wander over to the classroom to see friends and participate in the process. We will get to see Madge’s Spring class students perform on Friday evening, and Clayton’s Outreach students on Saturday during the day.
Here’s the schedule: * Arrive Round Top Thursday April 24 mid to late afternoon. Settle in, drinks, dinner, then over to the Barn to meet the Spring Class. Play together! Back to the house for late night talk, drinks, singing… * Friday April 25. Coffee and breakfast at house. Following an orientation to the assembled materials and instructions on how to handle them and what our task is, we will spend the day working on archives in classroom at Winedale, each person at his or her own pace, with time to wander around Winedale, go back to the house for breaks, etc. Attend Spring Class performance in the evening. * Saturday April 26. Coffee and breakfast at house. Over the course of the day, step into the Barn to watch Clayton’s Outreach students’ Festival of Play (apparently this is usually SRO!), and continue work on the archives in the classroom. Evening at the house, activities TBD * Sunday April 27. Coffee and breakfast at house. Out of house by 11, head to Winedale to help pack up the materials and circle up Missing from this schedule are our lunches and dinners. We’ll just promise that we will eat. What and where TBD. We hope members of classes from the 80s and 90s will jump on board. We have a few 70s Ancianos--the Ancient Ancianos--planning to attend, but this will work best if all three decades of Doc’s classes are represented. We are hoping for maybe 6 more people to sign up for the weekend, in which case the three nights will run around $315, plus food. A bargain for three nights of fun, laughter, storytelling, singing, and more. Make like you’re jumping into an improv and SAY YES! Join us! Please let us know by this coming Friday!

Dear Anciano Pals, If you have been reading your emails, you will recall that we have planned to kick off the 55th Anniversary of Shakespeare at Winedale with weekends in March and April devoted to working on the SAW archive--viewing old photos and identifying who is in them playing which roles in which plays in which years. Unfortunately, Round Top's Spring Antique Fair takes place during the March dates and there is no lodging to be had. On the April dates, we have located two available (beautiful!) houses in or near Round Top that can sleep up to 33 people between them, and we have booked them both. Here's the deal. House #1 can sleep up to 19; House #2 can sleep 14. Bed-sharing will be required if we fill one or both houses (if you want or need a queen bed to yourself and the house is otherwise full, you can possibly book a bed and pay double). If we don’t fill the house or houses, we’ll divide the cost by head. We are putting down substantial deposits so we have to watch the calendar closely. For house #1, larger capacity and lower cost, we will need to cancel by the end of next week, Sunday, February 23, to get a full refund. House #2, is smaller capacity and higher cost, but has a later cancellation date of March 25. Our guess, depending on how many of us there are and whether we take one or both of the houses, is that the per person cost for lodging will be between $300 - $500 for the three nights. Food will be separate, and we’ll think about how to keep those costs down. J. Frank Dobie would suggest pinto beans. We can hammer out the details once we know who wants to join the fun, but we need to know by next Monday February 17 if you are in or out. Signups will be first-come first-served, and we’ll hope to fill the bigger, less expensive house in the next few days. If we are not mostly full by next Thursday, we will cancel that reservation and turn our attention to House #2, and our group will be smaller. So secure your spot! Reply quickly! Let the 55th Anniversary Reunion begin! Once again, please let us know about April 24 - 27, 2025, Thursday to Sunday--including 3 overnights-- by Monday, February 17. ❤️❤️ Cheers, Maggie, Kathy, Jerald, Mary and All the Border Collies!
