Posing in another of my Shakespeare Dallas tees on a street named for Macbeth's ally-turned-rival.Friends,
Whether you've seen me around town in my Shakespeare Dallas "What's a Bard?" t-shirt or you've heard me tell stories about the experience of helping bring art and science together with "Bard and the Heavens" events, you may already have a sense of my passion for this organization. I feel privileged to be a member the board of directors of this Dallas icon which has shared the Bard's timeless stories of the human condition with the people of North Texas for over 50 years.
Shakespeare Dallas produces culturally enriching programs at extremely low cost (often free!) and truly makes Shakespeare and the art of his language accessible to all.
Please consider making a small gift in support of Shakespeare Dallas. And if Shakespeare isn't your thing, that's OK... your donation is still a way to help me support an organization that I care deeply about.
By the way, do you have your own story about Shakespeare in the Park? If so, please share it in the comments!
If you haven't yet experienced a Shakespeare Dallas production, now is a great time to do so! The fall production of Julius Caesar runs through October 13th. More info at ShakespeareDallas.org.
Many thanks,
Nathan
PS. The Shakespeare quote I selected for the title of my campaign is from Timon of Athens, Act II, Scene II.
| TIMON | Come, sermon me no further: | |
| No villanous bounty yet hath pass'd my heart; | ||
| Unwisely, not ignobly, have I given. | ||
| Why dost thou weep? Canst thou the conscience lack, | ||
| To think I shall lack friends? Secure thy heart; | ||
| If I would broach the vessels of my love, | ||
| And try the argument of hearts by borrowing, | ||
| Men and men's fortunes could I frankly use | ||
| As I can bid thee speak. | ||
| FLAVIUS | Assurance bless your thoughts! | |
| TIMON | And, in some sort, these wants of mine are crown'd, | |
| That I account them blessings; for by these | ||
| Shall I try friends: you shall perceive how you | ||
| Mistake my fortunes; I am wealthy in my friends. | ||
| Within there! Flaminius! Servilius! |
