SHAKSPERean,
 
In response to the many requests of late regarding various summer festivals,
I am posting to all the first version of the Shakespeare Summer Festivals 1993

will appear in the upcoming Spring issue with the possibility of further
additions in the Summer issue.  I would like to thank the editors, John Mahon
and Tom Pendleton, for giving their permission to distribute the list in this
fashion even before it has appeared in print.
