I want to give you something — not money, though I am coming to the plays. What it is is the copy of Comedy of Errors with my notes for giving this play as the high school senior class play in Waseca, Minnesota in 1968 (I think). For one thing, it was quite amazing that my students wanted to give a Shakespeare play for their senior play. For another, we did it by casting many of the male parts as women, because the class of 23 had 14 boys and 9 girls. Everyone helped. When the parents thought the seniors wouldn’t have an audience, they just said,d “Wait and see!” and we had to give an extra performance. I am really looking forward to seeing this at GRSF.

Hi Sister,
Thanks so much for your post! Extraordinary indeed that your 1968 class wanted to do Comedy of Errors! Believe it or not, you might see a little gender-reversed casting in our production as well . . . we look forward to seeing you at the theatre.
