Like any endeavor ofvalue, the process ofputting together a season of plays involves a lot ofhard work. Lastyear's props and costumes are hardly put back on racks, the sets and lights barely taken down, before we begi,n the process of crafting another season. A slate ofplays is chosen before we get to the end ofAugust; directors and designers hired soon after that. Auditions are in foll swing by October with casting completed by February. Budgets need to be finalized and marketing readied before the weather turns cold. Spring brings design meetings, the hiring oftechnicians, and a million administrative details to negotiate. And by mid-May we're thick into process of building and rehearsing these shows. The days can sometimes be long, but it's immensely satisfying work, and we feel fortunate to spend our days in service to an organization whose chief purpose is the sharing ofa good story. The Illinois Shakespeare Festival is proud to bringyou origi,nal and hand crafted pieces ofart - stories created through the collaborative efforts of more than 75 artists and technicians - ably supported by a remarkable cadre of administrators, educators, and.front of house staff. Our company comes.from all parts of the United States (and occasionally .from outside our borders) and brings with them remarkable talents and a tenacious passion far the work. This summer the Illinois Shakespeare Festival company is delighted to offer you three outstanding productions on our main stage, along with a wonderfully wacky greenshow and a new adaptation ofShakespeare's The Tempest, staged especially far family viewing. The popularity ofour weekend jazz series has encouraged us to add another night ofmusic on Wednesdays - an exciting and eclectic mixture ofsounds .from around the world. And this year, far the very first time, we are offering three sessions of Camp Shakespeare - an opportunity far teen actors to learn more about the art of theatre. I join with my many colleagues in welcoming you to the 32nd season ofthe Illinois Shakespeare Festival. Were happy you re here and hope our hard work will add a little magi,c to your summer. Please come back to share in more ofthe fun and bringyour family and.friends!

Best regards, Deb
