Mission Meeting May 23

Dear Friends, It's time to get together! Please join us on the afternoon of May 23, from 1-4pm. If you're reading this, it's because Richmond Shakespeare holds special meaning for you. Now, we need your story, your input and your voice. We're in the same theatre together quite often-but we rarely get the chance to interact, to sit and talk to one another. As we launch our 25th Anniversary Season in a new $75 million dollar performing arts center, Richmond CenterStage , we wanted to hear from you! You're a part of that effort. So, consider this your call to action! On May 23, from 1-4pm (this coming Saturday) Richmond Shakespeare will hold a Mission Meeting at Agecroft Hall . What's a Mission Meeting? It's a process we undertake from time to time, but never like this: we'll re-craft, re-write and re-dedicate the very mission of Richmond Shakespeare. Please join me at Agecroft Hall for a gathering of all the many kinds of people touched by the work of this remarkable company over 24 years. From actors to interns and from students to Trustees, we'll gather to hear, to speak, and to write about what Richmond Shakespeare means to each of us. You'll get a sneak peek inside CenterStage and hear a preview of the summer Richmond Shakespeare Festival 2009-you'll also get to meet Phil Brown, returning for year three to play the title role in Henry V [The History Cycle.] The day will be facilitated by Vanessa Womack Easter. A Senior Consultant with the STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT GROUP, LLC., Easter brings 25 years of experience in business operations, marketing and administration management in both corporate and nonprofit environments, performing facilitation and training /development functions, as well as strategic advising and corporate marketing. She comes to us referred by the Center for Non-Profit Excellence. Look for a more detailed invitation very soon! Space is limited, so we'll ask you to register for the meeting now by e-mailing our offices at MissionMeeting@RichmondShakespeare.com . Attending is free, and light refreshments will be provided. Please join us! Sincerely yours, Grant Mudge Artistic Director Richmond Shakespeare 1-866-Bard-Tix Box Ofc 804-232-4000 Admin 804-232-4400 Fax
