Supervising THE SHAKESPEARE GUILD and its activities is a BOARD OF DIRECTORS
whose members have done notable work in fields as varied as arts management
(Letitia Chambers and Janet A. Denton), banking and sculpture (John Safer),
communications (Scott R. Berg and Walda W. Roseman), diplomacy (Kenneth L.
Adelman and Esther Coopersmith), law (Andrew F. Oehmann), philanthropy and
theater production (Barbara G. Hammerman), humanities scholarship (J. Leeds
Barroll III), and writing, filmmaking, and administration (Mark Olshaker).
Assisting them and GUILD President John Andrews is a stellar ADVISORY COUNCIL
that supplies perspectives from such professions as acting (F. Murray Abraham,
Brian Bedford, Clive Francis, Michael Learned, Sir Donald Sinden, and Jean
Stapleton), cultural affairs (Marifrancis Hardison and Sherry L. Mueller), directing
and producing (Janet A. Griffin, Jeffrey Horowitz, John Miller, and William W.
Patton), interpretation and commentary (Ralph Berry, Barry Day, Peggy O’Brien,
and Homer Swander), marketing and public relations (Stephen Browning, Jan Du
Plain, and Michael A. Rosenberg), scriptwriting (Ken Ludwig), and television and
radio (Robert Aubry Davis, Robert MacNeil, and Susan Stamberg).
The GUILD also benefits from the support and advice it obtains from the dozens of
luminaries who have received GIELGUD trophies, participated in award ceremonies
or in SPEAKING OF SHAKESPEARE dialogues, sponsored or co-hosted events, and
collaborated on ventures that require the cooperation of multiple organizations.
