Ten years.
Impossible.
But here we are, 10 years later – 12, really, if
you consider that the first-ever conversation
about starting a Shakespeare festival
somewhere in the state of Minnesota took
place on April 30, 2002.
This breathtakingly fast decade of success
is owed to so many people: Board members
and volunteers; interested, generous,
and enthusiastic Winonans; theatergoers
from near and far; and a cadre of artists,
administrators, and craftspeople who have
come to Winona during the last ten years to
dedicate themselves to this brave, ambitious
dream, and who have helped make that
dream an unexpected reality.
For this auspicious season, we’ve selected
two great plays by our namesake playwright:
King Henry V, which picks up the story of
the wastrel Prince Hal as he becomes King
of England, and which is as much a tribute
to the theatre itself as it is Shakespeare’s
story of a legendary English monarch. We've
paired Henry with our second Twelfth Night,
considered by many to be Shakespeare’s most
perfect comedy, and which we offer this
summer in a new and re-imagined production
filled with holiday-seasonal music.
Our Intern and Apprentice company members
are grappling with the tragedy of Macbeth,
which will be performed eight times during
the last two weeks of our 10th anniversary
season and ensure that our audiences get
to experience a comedy, a history, and a
tragedy during the brief, ephemeral time
we’ll be up and running. Add to the mix our
Shakespeare for Young Actors’ project work
welcome
on Romeo and Juliet (one performance only),
and this season will be a feast for the ears, the
heart, and the spirit – Shakespeare enacted by
a full gamut of performers from the novice to
the professional.
Looking back on the decade during which
I’ve helped lead the Great River Shakespeare
Festival, my gratitude is abundant and
impossible to adequately express. We
have fought and struggled, confronted
insurmountable obstacles, and soared to
unexpected heights. As a not-for-profit arts
organization in America, we’ll continue to
struggle . . . it’s simply the way of the world
for all of us who have chosen to dedicate
our lives to work in the nonprofit sector.
But the fact that we’re still here ten years
later is an indication that so much of what
we’ve accomplished in Winona is on track.
For me, the most affirming evidence of our
success is that last season’s production of
King Lear attracted nearly as many playgoers
as did our riotous and bawdy The Complete
Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged].
The appetite for these stirring, life-changing
stories that we hoped to awaken in people
when we first brought Shakespeare’s plays to
Winona has taken root and is growing. The
message I’ll carry with me into the future is a
resounding, “we’re ready – and ready to grow
right alongside you.”
Who to thank for this decade? So very, very
many. Will Kitchen, Eric Sorensen, Darrell
Krueger, Judith Ramaley, Gary Evans, Tedd
Morgan. The people who have served on our
Board of Directors; the legion of volunteers
who have stepped forward to fill in the gaps.

welcome continued
donors and sponsors. The hundreds of
company members who have given of
themselves and helped establish our national
reputation for excellence. The friends we have
lost along the way: Rosemary Ingham, Jack
and Sue Cornwell, John Edstrom. But I think
if there were one person I would choose to
dedicate this season to, it would have to be
Karen Fawcett, who will retire in September
as a long-standing member of the GRSF
Board of Directors.
Karen defines generosity and commitment
to the community she calls home. She is
indefatigable, and her passion — for her
family, for Winona, for her numerous causes,
and for the Great River Shakespeare Festival
— knows no bounds. Were it not for Karen,
our Friends of Will volunteer organization
would not be the vibrant, expansive force for
good it has become in these last ten years.
Karen and her husband OJ have welcomed
GRSF company members into their home
(including our annual school residency team
of artist-teachers), provided picnics on the
green for friends and family, given generously
in so many visible and invisible ways, and
epitomized what I have come to think of as
the spirit of the community that invited us to
make their home our home. It is to Karen that
I dedicate my work – and all of our work –
this season, for without Karen, and so many
people like her, there simply would be no
Great River Shakespeare Festival.
Thank you, Karen. Thank you, all. Welcome
to Season Ten!
Paul Barnes
Artistic Director
It all started with a phone call. Three people were planning to start a Shakespeare festival in a small
Minnesota town. A theatre friend said I should convince them that Winona was the place, and it seemed
like a good idea to me! After talking to lots of people, the city came together and then the magic happened.

twelfth night
notes/production team
“If music be the food of love, play on;” - Duke Orsino, Act I, scene i
before the story begins:
context:
Viola and Sebastian, twins, set sail from
Messaline, Italy. Underway, their vessel is
beset by a raging tempest, resulting in a
shipwreck that separates them on the coast of
Illyria. Believing each other to be dead, they
both set out to find their way in a strange and
unknown land. In Illyria, the Countess Olivia
is in mourning for the deaths of her father
and brother and is left to manage her estate
and household. The Countess has several
suitors, including Orsino, Duke of Illyria,
and Sir Andrew Aguecheek, a foolish country
gentleman and companion to Sir Toby Belch,
Olivia’s ne’er-do-well uncle.
Twelfth Night, or What You Will was most
likely written in 1601, around the time
Shakespeare was finishing Hamlet. The first
documented performance, 2 February 1602,
comes from the Diary of John Manningham.
“At our feast we had a play called Twelfth Night,
or What You Will, much like The Comedy of
Errors.” The play is difficult to track as records
only reveal four performances in the 17th
century. Perhaps one of the most interesting
myths surrounding the play is that on
Twelfth Night, 1601, Shakespeare’s company
performed an unknown play for Queen
Elizabeth I and a Duke Virginio Orsino. This
begs the questions: Is Twelfth Night’s Duke
Orsino based on this man? Was the play that
was performed in fact, Twelfth Night?
as the story unfolds:
The distraught Viola, seeking safety in an
unfamiliar country, disguises herself as a boy,
adopting the name Cesario. She joins Duke
Orsino’s court and quickly becomes part of
his inner circle. Lady Olivia, with whom the
Duke is madly in love, scorns his attempts
to woo her, claiming she “cannot love him.”
Having gained much faith in his new servant,
Orsino implores Cesario to bear his messages
to the Countess Olivia, hoping she may
respond to his unusually female yet boyish
disposition.

king henry v
notes/production team
“Let us . . . on your imaginary forces work.” - Chorus, Prologue
before the story begins:
King Henry IV is dead and England is in the
midst of the Hundred Years' War. Henry's
son, the rebellious Prince Hal, now King
Henry V, has begun his reign. The young King
is plagued by guilt inherited from his father,
who seized the crown from King Richard II,
thereby disrupting the anointed royal blood
line. Henry V seeks the means to expiate his
father’s sins and his own wastrel past, spent
at the Boar's Head Inn with the drunken Sir
John Falstaff and a band of petty thieves. In
order to restore his reputation, Henry V has
renounced the friends of his youth and now
looks across the Channel to France and the
dukedoms of Burgundy, as rightfully his to
inherit but held captive by France. The largely
untried King holds council with the clergy
and his lords to solicit their advice.
as the story unfolds:
The clergy discuss the Salic Law, a preventive
measure instilled by the French during King
Edward III’s reign to keep him from lawfully
inheriting the French crown via the female
line when their king died without an heir.
The Archbishop of Canterbury informs the
council that this law is moot as the land Salic
is in Germany, and therefore France cannot
claim this law as theirs. Henry is also urged
to war in remembrance of his great ancestors,
Edward III and the Black Prince of Wales, who
fought victorious battles in France (Crecy
Battle). As his advisors argue, Henry is visited
by the arrogant French ambassadors who
deliver to him an insulting gift. Meanwhile, at
the Boar’s Head Inn, Sir John Falstaff, recently
abandoned by King Henry, lies gravely ill.
context:
The prologue invites the audience to use its
imagination to endow the “wooden O” with
the play's forthcoming events. This famous
line has led scholars to believe the play to have
been performed by the Lord Chamberlains’
Men in their new theater, the Globe, in
1599. The play is also part of a cycle of
English history plays written by Shakespeare,
specifically following King Henry IV Part One
and Part Two. The play was printed in 1600.
sources:
Other than popular Elizabethan knowledge
of the warrior king with which Shakespeare
would have been familiar, most of the action
of King Henry V is drawn from Raphael
Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland,
and Ireland, published in 1577. Edward
Hall’s The Union of the Two Noble and Illustre
Families Lancaster and York, published
in 1550, may have also served as source
material. Shakespeare’s King Henry V bears
remarkable similarity to an anonymous play
entitled The Famous Victories of Henry the
Fifth: Containing the Honourable Battell of
Agin-court, printed in 1598.

the 2013 company
Our company is really a community comprised of a vast array of people. From our Board
of Directors to our hundreds of Friends of Will volunteers and their hard-working Steering
Committee, to our Will’s Opening Weekend Committee, to our growing list of corporate,
foundation, and individual donors and supporters, and to our generous hosts (Winona State
University, Saint Mary’s University, and the City of Winona itself), the legion of collaborative
partners, businesses, institutions, organizations, and individuals that have helped make the
Great River Shakespeare Festival a reality increases every season.
GRSF’s directors, actors, designers, technicians, apprentices, and interns come to Winona
from all over the country each summer. They are led by a team of arts administrators who call
the region home, and bring to the Festival a depth and breadth of experience that informs
and enriches our onstage work and shapes our day-to-day life in this welcoming community.
What transcends our individual differences and inextricably links us is a passion for the
spoken word, for Shakespeare, and for great stories well told. All this, plus the conviction that
our lives are always changed a little for the better when people come together to share the
communal experience of live theatre.

I was honored to be a company member in GRSF’s inaugural season. I have never understood so clearly
the notion of ’company’ as I did that summer, surrounded by fine actors and artists guided and bonded
by the words of Shakespeare, and inspired by the committed members of the Winona community. That
camaraderie continues to this day. We worked hard and played hard and talked long into the night –
frequently engaging in ’fierce conversation!’ Theater is a collaborative art and, for me, GRSF has always
exemplified the joy of collaboration.

The Shakespeare festival has both driven my interest in Shakespeare and shown me a unique and special
sense of community. As a high school student reading Shakespeare for the first time in 2003, it kindled
a curiosity and thirst for Shakespeare that continues. Ushering, listening to concerts on the green, going
to discussions, seeing the plays several times, and chatting with Paul Barnes in Target (thanks for doing
Lear!!!) gave me an appreciation for true involvement and community. Now, when I am thousands of miles
away, when I think of my community, I think of the Shakespeare festival.”

setting the stage: campaign success!
On March 27, 2011 the Great River Shakespeare Festival
announced the Setting the Stage Campaign, an initiative for
organizational growth and longevity. Campaign members made
a three-year pledge or one-time gift of a minimum of $450 to
help the Festival increase its working capital and create an
operating reserve to keep the Festival in Winona for a long time
to come. We surpassed our $1.6 million goal at the Callithump
last July! Many thanks to our supporters and campaign members
for keeping GRSF around for years to come.

I discovered a whole body of knowledge that I knew very little about when my wife and I experienced our
first Great River Shakespeare Festival performance. It was Season One’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.
I realized that Shakespeare, performed by this acting company, was relevant, intriguing, engaging, and
compelling. We are now huge fans of GRSF. After having seen scores of performances and having read
seventeen of the plays, I am filled with appreciation for the genius of Mr. Shakespeare, the richness of his
language, and the humanity of his characters.

One picture is worth many thousand words.
In our first ten years of bringing Shakespeare’s plays to Southeastern Minnesota, our
audiences have heard thousands and thousands of some of the most beautiful, delicious,
incisive, and inspiring words in the English language. The images on this page represent
all 21 productions from our first nine years of work — and speak volumes in and of
themselves, without benefit of accompanying commentary or dialogue — just as a good
photo (or painting) should!
This year, to complete our first decade of work, we return to Twelfth Night and
introduce Festival audiences to King Henry V, bringing the total number of Great River
Shakespeare Festival professional company productions to 23. If you look at these
photos and identify productions you didn’t get to see but wish you had, just imagine
what Decade Two at the Great River Shakespeare Festival will bring. You won’t want to
miss a moment of our second ten years.
