Personal Notes/Dedications:

"Didn't we have fun at Shakespeare Santa Cruz?! Good memories! Love uuuuuu. xoxox Mama"
"thanks for asking for our help! Your work is a blessing to all of us."
"I know how much [you] always enjoyed attending the theatre together. My memories of [you] are so pleasantly linked with interesting discussions of plays, as well as reports of plays you and my parents saw together."
"I'm afraid I'm skipping the redwoods this year because I thought Dad would want to support this, as they are in deep financial trouble. We go every year and think it is a wonderful local treasure."
"This is on behalf of [name] for Shakespeare Santa Cruz. She is a lovely lady and anything that is near to her heart I trust to be a good cause. I recently was laid off so I can only donate $5, but I hope it helps!"
"This donation will help Shakespeare Santa Cruz stay open to present their 2009 season, and hopefully many more to come—including a mainstage season of Shakespeare plays, bringing Shakespeare performances to school classrooms, and enriching the university and the Santa Cruz community. Merry Christmas."
"On behalf of The library staff of Linfield College Personal Note: I worked for a summer at Shakespeare Santa Cruz and the current Artistic Director is an old friend. They need to raise $300k by the 22nd or they will close after 27 years. So this year, you are supporting the arts. Merry Christmas from your pet geek."
"Marco, Your analogy to the brilliant film "The Dresser" forcefully and viscerally hit its mark. Along with my contribution, I send good thoughts and the fervent hope that the light that is SSC will, under your artistic guidance, continue to flame, illuminating the darkness that threatens to consume us all. This guttering flicker of culture, humanity and inspiration tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains seems worth fighting for. Much Love, much luck! "
"In loving memory of Laurel-- keeping the Arts alive in honor of her birthday. Having Laurel join us in Santa Cruz for the summer was always our dream. We know she would have loved the beach and the forest, and the festival in the Glen."
"Mom, This Christmas we donated in your honor to Shakespeare Santa Cruz which is facing hard financial times. We know how much you love and believe in community theater. One day I hope to see you on that stage! Your biggest fans-"
"In times of Feast and Famine, theater feeds our souls! "
"In JS' honor I am donating to Shakespeare Santa Cruz this holiday season. California's only premiere Shakespeare festival that is in danger of closing forever in these tough economic times. Since it all inter connected in this crazy business where we try to survive and work and make art, I thought it fitting. Happy Holidays."
"Theatre did not only save my life, but gave it definition. It is not only my aspiration, but that which inspires me most. It is not only made possible by players and co-workers, but by my family and friends. Long live Shakespeare Santa Cruz."
"Because this means so much to you, and because it also means so much to us, we want SSC to live on. All's well that ends well. Happy stitching!"
"Shakespeare Santa Cruz is in trouble, so we're donating $50 in the family name as part of a last minute local grass roots campaign to save it. If it works you'll be part of a truly worthy bail out program. If it fails, blame George Bush."
"I am supporting Shakespeare Santa Cruz in their time of financial crisis, and I could not think of a more perfect person to honor with a contribution to this beloved and stellar local theater program than YOU! I love you and applaud your amazing achievements. You are in my heart as a daughter and I celebrate you."

"Some of our favorite Shakespeare productions ever! Hope this does it! Love you both"
"Dear Mom, There so many good causes to support at this time of year ... but this sudden spectre of eliminating Shakespeare Santa Cruz rattled me, and I thought perhaps you would like your gift to go to them -- I think your love of the theatre and the arts will find some comfort knowing this little stage in this little place will continue to flourish. All love, us."
"Thanks so much for supporting Shakespeare Santa Cruz, and "Merry Christmas" from both of us!"
