Shakespeare Northwest Auditions 2008

Note from Damond Morris on auditions for Shakespeare Northwest 2008 productions of The Merchant of Venice and All’s Well That Ends Well.

Greetings,

I know for many this will be a sad move out of the outdoor theatre. It was a decision that was not made lightly. Man hours and time as well as the cost of setting up the facility were deciding factors to make the move to the Hall.

Does someone know how to fix this, get it back to English?

Freddy Fender Headstone


This is a little macabre. I was contacted about this photo of Freddy Fender as a candidate to use for his grave stone.
