The Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 20th Anniversary William Shakespeare Award Gala was a huge success. The Company’s principal fundraising event, the 2007 Will Award raised more than $540,000 to support the Free For All. The Mellon Auditorium was beautifully decorated to reflectLove’s Labor’s Lost, which was reprised at the 2007 Free For All. 22 To celebrate the 20th Anniversary, the Will Award was presented to the core company members of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, artists who have brought this organization to the pinnacle of artistic excellence. Since 1986, together with Michael Kahn, they have brought to vibrant life groundbreaking, thought-provoking and eminently accessible classic theatre in a uniquely American style. The Company’s reputation has been built on the performances of these outstanding actors, and the award honored their storied history and legacy in the world of classical theatre.

Gala Co-Chair Kathleen Matthews opened the evening by arriving on one of the original Vespas from Love’s Labor’s Lost. Directors Keith Baxter and Gale Edwards introduced the actors of the Company, and Michael Kahn and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Landon Butler presented the awards.

Will on the Hill took place at the Lansburgh Theatre on Monday, May 7, 2007. The benefit, chaired by Mike House and Gina Rigby House, raised more than $200,000 for the Shakespeare Theatre Company—more than twice what this event raised in 2006. The evening was an extraordinary success as an audience of nearly 200 Washingtonians enjoyed an original production by local playwright Norman Allen, based on scenes from Romeo and Juliet and starring Members of Congress, Washington media notables and area business leaders. The cast included Senator Robert Bennett, Representatives Spencer Bachus, Jane Harman, Darlene Hooley, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Ed Markey, Cliff Stearns and John Tanner, as well as Dr. Sidney Harman, Dr. Susan Blumenthal, Honorable Nora Mead Brownell (Former FERC Commissioner), Frank Fahrenkopf, Jr. (American Gaming Association), Honorable Stuart Holliday (Meridian International), Sheila Johnson (Washington Mystics), Jim Kimsey (The Kimsey Foundation), Charles Krauthammer (The Washington Post), Honorable Bonnie McElveen-Hunter (American Red Cross), Honorable William Newman, Jr. (Arlington Circuit Court), Nina Totenberg (National Public Radio) and actress Helen Carey.

The stage belongs to the believable and heartfelt emotion of Joseph Urla. Philip Goodwin is masterful and chilling.” Garrett M. Graff, The Washingtonian, on An Enemy for the People “Funny … The production glides confidently from silly to wry, from the pratfall to the riposte … Suave Christopher Innvar and tart Veanne Cox [are] polished comic actors who seem as smart as the words they utter.” Peter Marks, The Washington Post, on The Beaux’ Strategem “Unforgettable theater … smartly staged, wonderfully acted, and gorgeously rendered. Kahn’s Richard III possesses charm, menace and malice to spare.” Patrick Folliard, Washington Blade, on Richard III “Four Stars … Edwards succeeds mightily in balancing this parade of destruction with the emotional journeys Shakespeare offers … she has kept it free of exploitation and excessive prurience and still made it relevant. This Titus is high on action with enough superb displays of choreography and well-rehearsed stage-craft to keep even the YouTube crowd rapt.” Kate Wingfield, Metro Weekly, on Titus Andronicus “Ingenious … A straight-up modern-dress take. The Company’s done its characteristic deep meditation on the text and come away with fresh moments that enliven Shakespeare’s oft-heard words … open[ing] up the production in satisfying, unexpected ways.” Glen Weldon, Washington City Paper, on Hamlet “Three and a half Stars … Kjetil Bang-Hansen more than achieves the …” “Three and a half Stars … Kjetil Bang-Hansen more than achieves the company’s traditional level of excellence.
