On another subject, I would like to know who the other Resident Artists are…and, what that designation means to others. As for me…it makes me very proud.

I hasten to add that I have the solo distinction of “dying” in two successive shows ( A Little Night Music and The Man From Nebraska): 1. third entrance from stage left; 2. and…in a wheelchair!

Keep the “good stuff” coming!

My dad and uncle went to high school in Casper, Wyoming, also with Dick Cheney. I think that my dad, Tom Rodda, was class of 1960, and his brother Mike Rodda was three years older. Do those names ring a bell? Did your paths cross at all?

(If I’ve just insulted you by wildly mis-guessing at your age, please forgive me!)

In all seriousness, I personally think it’s a great idea to introduce kids to Shakespeare at a young age, even if extreme cuts have been made. Shakespeare is hard for most people to tackle, and the sooner one can begin to appreciate it, the better. Especially if that initial introduction to Shakespeare is done prior to Jr. High or High School, where Shakespeare generally begins to gain its bad reputation due to less-than-entertaining teaching methods and environments.

Kudos to Cygnet!
