  • Shakespeare in Love
    FEB Shakespeare 26 MAR in Love 29 Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall Music by Alex Bechtel Directed by Matt Pfeiffer Welcome to Shakespeare in Love. Every year, many of you cry out to us “Dear God, no more Shakespeare!” While others plead “I loved your Winter’s Tale, your Richard III. Please put on Midsummer. I beg you for a Twelfth Night.” With Shakespeare In Love, the Purists and the Never Barders may unite to curse us with a plague on both our houses, but if they — and you — are someone who loves love, well then . Here is a love letter to romantic love, to the theatre, and to the rebellious, transgressive, mysterious, and glorious madness of both. Whether you keep Shakespeare close to your heart or far from it, we invite you to celebrate what he loved most: the stage, its players, poetry . and a dog. Zak Berkman, Producing Director Lend me your ears Matt Pfeiffer, Director I’ve been really blessed to spend most of my career working on the plays of William Shakespeare. I believe his plays are foundational to Western culture. Love him or hate him, his infuence is an essential part of our understanding of stories and storytelling. And I’ve had the privilege for the last six years of fostering a specifc approach to his plays. I found that attempting to be in conversation with the principals of the theatre practices of Shakespeare’s time was a good starting place—not so much aesthetically, but logistically.

  • IMPACT REPORT Dear Friends, at the Y, Strengthening Community Is at the Forefront of What We Do Each Day
    2017 YMCA OF DELAWARE IMPACT REPORT Dear Friends, At the Y, strengthening community is at the forefront of what we do each day. Our focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, ensures that we embrace and nurture the promise in all of us. The Y gives children, families and individuals the support and resources they need to be more healthy, confident, connected and secure. We believe the Y must continue to lead the way to a brighter future. Each year, more than 100,000 people of all ages and from all walks of life turn to one of our eight locations in the state of Delaware or our overnight Camp Tockwogh in Maryland for programs that nurture the potential of children and teens, improve health and well-being and empower people to give back and support neighbors. As a nonprofit, community-building charity, we strive to make our programs widely affordable and accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay. With the support of our donors, we are able to offer programs that close the achievement gap for minority and low-income youth, deliver potentially life-saving water safety lessons, prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes, support men in housing crisis and so much more! In 2017, we hit several significant milestones in our work: • We officially opened the doors of our Middletown Family YMCA. Over the course of the year, we expanded programming, providing a safe place for children in summer camp, before and after school care as well as swim lessons and water safety. • We broke ground on the 19,000 square foot vertical expansion at our Brandywine YMCA to keep pace with the growing needs of that community.
