In 2011 the Guild focused most of its efforts on programs at the NATIONAL
ARTS CLUB on Gramercy Park, but two of our events took place next door at
THE PLAYERS, and one occurred at the LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER in Santa
Fe.
We opened the year in January with "new-media" pioneers
KATHERINE ROWE and KATHLEEN FITZGERALD, who talked about innovative
approaches to both research and instruction that are now being used at campuses
such as Bryn Mawr and are being encouraged by organizations such as the
Modern Language Association. In Feburary we hosted two events about Shakespeare
portraiture with Shakespeare Birthplace Trust director DIANA
OWEN, Trust chairman STANLEY WELLS,
Trust education leader PAUL EDMONDSON,
and Metropolitan Museum of Art curator WALTER
LIEDTKE.
In March we enjoyed another engagement with script consultant RUSSELL
JACKSON. Next up were conversations with historian MICHAEL
J. HIRREL, who talked about what it would have been like to spend an
afternoon at the Globe in Shakespeare's time, and textual scholar STEVEN
URKOWITZ, who discussed early printings of the playwright's works. We
then proceeded to engaging programs with director and playwright
ROBERT BRUSTEIN, novelist ARTHUR PHILLIPS,
and actors RICHARD CLIFFORD and SIR
DEREK JACOBI. During the autumn we relished superb programs at The Players
with JOHN MILLER, JOAN
DARLING and JONATHAN RICHARDS.
