“The Ninth World Shakespeare Congress in Prague will mark the next phase in a journey through four continents. Beginning in Vancouver, this international conference has travelled every five years since 1971 to share Shakespearean scholarship, performance, and pedagogy at another great site: Washington D.C., Stratford-upon-Avon, Berlin, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Valencia and Brisbane. The culturally rich city of Prague, a new setting for the Congress in central Europe, offers a wonderful opportunity to engage in dialogue about Shakespearean reception both here and throughout the world.”
This is kind of a hard situation to explain…but basically im involved in this program at my school and it is run my and executive state officer team of highschool students. At our state conference meeting this past week, I spoke to the vice president (a big deal for me, he is my role model) about how I was condisering running for state office next year. He gave me his card to e-mail him with any questions I had and i’m not sure how to begin…. . pretending his name was Chris Smith, which would be the best choice:. . Dear Chris,. Chris,. Mr. Smith,. or any other suggestions would be nice too.. . *keep in mind we are both high school students. I feel kind of weird calling him Mr. Smith when i am 16 years old and he is 18..
