Buon Giorno Roma!
One of Tauck's most popular Italy cruises begins at 6:30 PM at the Hotel Majestic Roma. A transfer from Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Fiumicino to Hotel Majestic Roma is included. Your hotel is ideally located on the fashionable Via Veneto. Join us for a welcome cocktail reception and dinner tonight.
Hotel Majestic Roma
Glorious Rome & an exclusive after-hours look inside the Vatican Museums
Join your local guide for an overview of Rome's landmark sights – including St. Peter's Basilica, and the Colosseum with pre-reserved tickets to avoid the usual wait – then pursue what interests you most in the "Eternal City" for the rest of the day. This evening, a highlight of Sicily, the Amalfi Coast & Rome is Tauck's exclusive after-hours visit to the Vatican Museums. With a local guide, tour the Vatican Museums this evening without the day-time crowds; explore the Candelabra Gallery, the Map Gallery, the Tapestries and the Sistine Chapel... and see them as you have them pictured in your mind's eye – a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Explore Herculaneum and embark Le Ponant
The créme de la créme of Italy cruises begins today... but first, travel to the coast on a fascinating excursion to the ruins of Herculaneum. The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD is infamous – and while the ruins of famous Pompeii are well known, those of the upscale city of Herculaneum, buried under ash that same day, are better preserved. After lunch, explore the ruins with a local guide, then continue to Naples for a sightseeing tour before embarking the yacht Le Ponant for your 7-night cruise.
Aboard Le Ponant
Explore the dramatic Amalfi Coast and have lunch ashore
A guided walk awaits you in the picturesque town of Amalfi itself; then set out on the mountainous route along the Amalfi Coast, one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Arrive in stunning Ravello, perched on cliffs overlooking the sea. Visit Villa Rufolo, with roots dating back to a wealthy 13th-century merchant family, where you'll savor outstanding coastal views. Enjoy a wonderful lunch of seasonal specialties in Ravello and some time to explore on your own. Return to Le Ponant, which departing from mainland Italy cruises towards the Aeolian Islands this evening.
Sailing to Lipari & the Aeolian Isles
The largest of the Aeolian Islands, Lipari sits on red volcanic rock like "a wall of bronze" according to the Greek poet Homer. Archaeological remains have yielded clues to civilizations which date to 1700 BC, including the Neolithic stones that sit alongside ancient tombstones and ruins of Greek walls and Roman villas. The Spaniards found their way here in the 16th century, building the castello (castle) and the 17th-century cathedral perched above the harbor; see them on a sightseeing excursion. Back aboard ship, experience a different view when you sail by the island of Stromboli tonight, home to one of the world's few constantly active volcanoes – it has continuously erupted for 2,000 years. The view is unforgettable – a
nighttime show that's a must among Italy cruises... and one of the highlights of yours.
Exploring the relics of Segesta & Erice, Sicily
From Castellammare, head out on a drive to Segesta, an ancient Sicilian stronghold and the site of many conflicts between conquering powers in the earliest centuries. Few ancient vestiges remain intact – with the exception of the Tempio (Temple) of Segesta. Dating back to 426 BC, the full-size temple boasts 36 remarkably preserved Doric columns which still support the structure; the interior was never completed presumably because of the almost constant conflicts the town endured in ancient times. Continue on to the enchanting medieval city of Erice, suspended above the sea and surrounded by Punic and Norman fortifications – Baroque balconies and flowering vines line its narrow streets. Travel to nearby Trapani as you make your way back to Le Ponant and set sail for Sicily's traditional capital, Palermo, as one of Tauck's most popular Italy cruises continues.
Explore Palermo, Sicily today
Explore Palermo today, the capital of Sicily. In 1768, the German Romantic poet Goethe remarked that the best way to appreciate Palermo for the first time is by an arrival at sea. We think you'll agree. Set in a natural amphitheatre at the foot of Monte Pellegrino, Palermo was once Europe's grandest city. The port is located in the pedestrian center so you can walk right off the ship into the heart of history. See the Teatro Massimo, the Cathedral, Porto Nuovo, the Palazzo dei Normani and Fontana Pretoria. Le Ponant departs for Taormina this evening.
Antiquities of cliff-top Taormina on Sicily
Admire the astounding views as your voyage to Italy cruises to Taormina, a terraced town
clinging to high cliffs on the east coast of Sicily, with Mt. Etna
towering in the distance. Go ashore via Zodiac; survey the Teatro Greco, featuring both Greek
and Roman elements, and stroll the Corso Umberto, Old Town Taormina's
beautiful main pedestrian street lined with cafés and pasticcerie. Dinner tonight is back aboard the ship, bound for Siracusa.
Explore the ancient treasures of Siracusa, Sicily
Le Ponant docks at Ortigia Island this morning, lined with 18th- and 19th-century townhouses, for a visit to Siracusa, an important stronghold of ancient Greece. Drive to Neapolis Parco Archeologico to see the Teatro Greco, an ancient 15,000 seat theatre hewn out of rock, and Latomia del Paradiso featuring the Ear of Dionysius. Enjoy a sweet taste of granita, a refreshingly cold Sicilian specialty, before spending the afternoon at your leisure in Ortigia. Easy to explore sights include the ancient Doric 6th-century Temple of Apollo – transformed over the centuries as a Byzantine church, a Muslim mosque and then a Norman church – and the Baroque-inspired Duomo. Leave time to experience the Piazza del Duomo, one of the most elegant squares in Sicily. Set sail for Malta this evening, where Tauck's southbound Mediterranean and Italy cruises conclude.
Disembark in medieval Malta and take a walking tour of Valletta
Disembark Le Ponant for a guided tour of Malta that includes the medieval walled city of Mdina perched atop a cliff, and a drive around St. Julian's Bay, both a popular nightlife spot and a shelter for numerous colorful Maltese boats. Continue to the city of Valletta for a walking tour; this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a virtual open-air museum of a walled late-Renaissance city. Go inside St. John's Co-Cathedral to see its stunning interior and art; the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, a masterpiece by the Italian Baroque painter Caravaggio, Flemish tapestries and silver artifacts reward visitors. Your accommodations at the Phoenicia Hotel Malta are within walking distance of city sights. Join us there tonight for a farewell reception and dinner. Share your memories of Sicily, the Amalfi Coast & Rome, one of Tauck's most popular Italy cruises, with fellow travelers.

Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage - General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
If you are a U.S. citizen, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into Italy and Malta; however, you will not need a visa for the short duration of this tour. Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
If you are a citizen of another country, you should contact a consulate or embassy of Italy and Malta to determine what travel documentation is required.
You will be issued a boarding card, which you must present before embarking the ship in each port. This security measure also ensures that only Tauck guests are permitted onboard.
We recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
Personal Expenses such as phone calls, room service in hotels, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.
You may settle your on-board expenses using American Express, MasterCard and VISA or U.S. dollars and euros. The euro is the official currency used on board.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while on the motor coach, during group functions, when sightseeing and when your Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There will be many opportunities to make and receive calls at times when it does not affect others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine if your service extends to Italy and Malta.
Cruising the Mediterranean Sea is very relaxing and the pace is leisurely. To enjoy this cruise, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, often over unpaved and uneven surfaces. Some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. There is a moderate amount of walking during our onshore excursions; for the most part, however, the amount of walking you do is at your discretion. Our activities include visiting ancient towns and ruins, usually involving uneven terrain, cobblestone streets, and climbing many steps up steep hills in warm weather. Some ship to shore transportation is by Zodiac (capacity 9 to 12 persons) or local tender. Occasionally you will get wet with spray.
Le Ponant has four decks and no elevator.
Le Ponant has a licensed and registered physician onboard for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. The ship's small infirmary is designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents, and is not intended to or capable of providing on-going treatment of pre-existing medical conditions.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it. On board the ship, certain outer decks have been designated as non-smoking areas. There is no smoking permitted in the interior of the ship.
Le Ponant is registered in France. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
If you are a resident of the U.S., no vaccinations are currently required for travel to Malta or Italy; however, an International Certificate of Vaccination for Yellow Fever is required for entry into Malta if you arrive in Malta within five days of leaving a country where yellow fever is endemic.

Coastal Italy in summer has very warm, if not hot, days and warm evenings, though at sea the evening breezes do provide cooler temperatures. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is flexible and allows for layering. Casual, cotton clothing is always advisable. A light jacket or sweater for the evenings on deck is also recommended. Comfortable yet sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in are a must, as many of the sites visited were built in antiquity and have uneven surfaces, some steep inclines and many steps. For the welcome and farewell receptions, casual resort wear is appropriate; formal wear is never required for dining with your fellow guests at a Tauck provided dinner. When traveling abroad, you may have the opportunity to dine at an upscale restaurant on your own, which may require men to dress in coat and tie, and women in more elegant eveningwear.
Shipboard attire is casual and informal. The usual dinner dress aboard Le Ponant is also casual and relaxed; while a jacket and tie is not required, shorts and bathing attire are not appropriate at meal times. However, the Captain's dinners aboard Le Ponant are occasions for festive attire.
Valet laundry and dry-cleaning services are available for a fee at the hotels in Malta and Rome. Onboard, valet laundry and pressing services are available for a fee.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed. No medications are sold on board the cruise ship other than those prescribed and stocked by the ship's physician.
Hairdryers are available at the hotels in Rome and Malta and aboard the ship. For safety reasons, curling and clothes irons are not permitted aboard the ship.
Following is a list of recommended items to pack for a cruise in the Mediterranean:

There are limits to the amount of alcohol that can be a part of this exemption. Certain restrictions apply to unaccompanied goods mailed from abroad to the U.S. Please call your local customs office or consult the U.S. government's customs regulations as contained in their publication entitled Know Before You Go.

Le Ponant, a three-masted schooner, cruises to small islands, hidden harbors and exclusive ports of call in the Mediterranean with only 60 guests aboard. She was specially designed for cruising to remote destinations that are accessible only by small ship.
Overall Rating:
We started in Malta and then set sail on the French registered ship "Le Ponant." This was our first small ship cruise and the on-board crew was exceptional. The ship was well-designed and we really enjoyed when the sails were raised. The sights in Rome were a real highlight and great deal was learned about the Vatican and the Coliseum.
The tour schedule did not include a stop in Messina, but one was made to avoid rough sailing conditions from Taormino to Palermo. Thanks to Tauck's contingency planning and highly trained Tour Directors, we were met in Messina by an excellent set of local guides who added greatly to the content of the trip, and no stops had to be skipped.
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Definitely
We loved our trip!! From the LePonant ship to Rome we had an absolute blast. The ship's captain and crew were wonderful hosts, treating us with french cuisine and unlimited wine, and the views with the excursions at each port were unimaginable. We thought the trip was fabulous and then we went to Rome to see the Vatican, St. Peters,and etc.
The Zodiac Shuttle Service to shore at Lipari with a 16th century castle and a 17th century cathedral. Then we sailed past Stromboli that night (the Black Giant) - one of the only active volcanoes in the world.

The tours were great the tour guides great the transportation bus were great the staff on le ponant was great.the ship was not up to Tauck standards.

Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?Maybe
We took a small ship tour that left from Malta and went to Sicily, Amalfi Coast, Naples and Rome. It was very well done. The food, most accommodations,and the tour guides were just excellent. The pace of the trip was a bit hectic but we all managed to keep up. Would have liked more free time in Vatican Museum. We learned a lot, met great people
Seeing Stromboli erupt at night. The show that nature provided us, was awesome. Could not believe that it would be that beautiful.
One of the best trips we've taken with Tauck. The boat was lovely, and the staff friendly, responsive and courteous. We liked the smaller group and got to know everyone by first name. I would recommend this tour to everyone! Just make sure the guests are able to climb steps, as there is a lot of that in the boat and the villages along the coast.
We enjoyed Herculaneum most...but loved dining at the captain's table, and the day at Taormina was spectacular. We were lucky with wonderful weather the entire time.
Absolutely, positively the best trip ever. The ship, staterooms and public areas were in perfect condition and spotless all the time.! The Captain & crew were fantastic in every way, they were especially concerned with our safety. I would have liked a few more Italian dishes on board. Terry our Tauck Director couldn't have been better!
Roberto's cannoli's.!! Truly the entire trip.! Every town was so beautiful, the ship so relaxing and peaceful..! I could live on the Le Ponant.! Truly this trip will be hard to beat. Tauck does it ALL right the first time.!
We are so pleased you enjoyed your vacation with us and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
-The Tauck Guest Relations Team
This was the most wonderful trip! Full of interesting places and loaded with spectacular art and architecture. We saw a lot and learned a lot from all the excellent tour guides we had in Italy. Very knowledgable and congenial. Relaxing on our private yacht, the le Poinant was heavenly. Sailing into Malta was so beautiful with the morning sun.
The Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Tauck did not disappoint us. We are planning our next trip already! I can't think that there is anyplace more interesting to visit than Italy. It sure has it all in my book. Thanks everyone at Tauck for doing such a splendid job and making our dreams come true.
The portion on the Le Ponant was very nice and could recommend that portion. The staff on the ship was very helpful and a pleasure to be around. The land portion started off well and our tour of Herculaneum was interesting. On the trip to Rome we were told that a major part of the trip was cancelled! Tauck people blamed it on the Vatican!
The view of Stromboli erupting
Would you recommend Tauck to a friend?No
Waited 1+ hour at Rome airport for Tauk rep to take us to hotel.Seas were too rough for Le Ponant-sleepless nights and sick often. Food was French and not regional-very disappointing. POIs-terrific. Tauk and ship staff-terrific. Local guides-some focused on minutia. Loved eating lunches at local places. Not enough free time to shop!Steve&MelissaA++
So many (great and not so great)
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. WE are sorry that some aspects of this trip fell below expectations. Rest assured that we will immediately look into your comments and take corrective actions where possible. Again, thank you for your patronage and we do hope you will travel with us again.
What a wonderful experience. Best of both worlds, travel by land and sea. We started in Rome, with a visit to the Vatican and a tour of the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum.
From there on to the Herculean ruins, and a bus ride to Ravello. We set sail along the Amalfi Coast, to Stromboli, Lipari, Erice, Palermo, Taormina, ending in Malta
Seeing the Sistine Chapel and the painting of God touching Adam's finger giving him life.
Bob Silberblatt
Our tour of Rome, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Malta was the usual Tauck fare, absolutely fantastic. If you like to struggle with your luggage while on vacation, then Tauck is definitely not for you. If you like to feel as though you are being nickel-and-dimed for tickets, snacks, food and drink at every stop, then Tauck is not for you.
Going aboard an inflatable to take pictures of Le Ponant while it was under full sail. Our private tour of the Sistine Chapel wasn't bad, either. Lunch in Taormina was right up there also. One of the things about travelling with Tauck is that every experience is the most memorable until the next comes along and betters the last. The people we met!
This trip was special. The crew and captain of the ship, Le Ponant were amazing and our guides Elise and Tim too. We did most of the sailing at night and spent the days touring with plenty of down time to explore on your own or enjoy time on the ship. When we swam or on tour, they took extra care to ensure our safety, with the ships doctor prsnt
Swimming 500 yards off Stromboli after our daily adventure and then later that evening watching the small eruptions after dinner on the Sun Deck.
Our 4th trip with Tauck. Life aboard the Le Ponant was surreal. Great food, drinks, & entertainment. Captain set up a safe swimming area whenever we were anchored off shore and all guests went swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea! Wonderful Trip. Spectacular ship & crew, nice guests, 5***** hotels, perfect weather, terrific Tour Directors & local guides.
After-hours tour of the Sistine Chapel. No crowds!
Tauck never includes visit to Villa Borghese,on any
tours to Roma. Including their Rome Event tours, on my extra day
in Rome I visited Villa Borghese, is most outstanding collection. Also while the itinerary took us to Palermo,Sicily
again we didn't visit Monreale which was just a few miles from
Palermo, Two big disappointments of the trip
Becoming sea sick, no sleep for 24hrs, and had to immediately
leave the dining room at dinnertime.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry that you were disappointed that some areas were not included in the itinerary. We will be sure to share your coments with our Product Team.
Sailing ship is charming. Cabins a bit cramped Tim and Elise were excellent tour guides.
Visit to Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel in intimate setting
retired woman traveler
This was a wonderful trip. We enjoyed the ship accommodations, food, service and entertainment and loved being able to unpack for the week and go on the interesting daily excursions. The itinerary was packed full but there was still plenty of time to relax. Our Tauck tour directors, Elise and Tim, helped make this trip seem flawless.
My most memorable moment was the breathtaking view from the concert stage in Ravello but the most memorable excursion, for us, was seeing the ruins of Herculaneum on the way to Rome.
It was fabulous! We wanted something very special to celebrate our 50th anniversary and Tauck did not disappoint!! Everything was done in a caring and thoughtful way evidencing Tauck's vast experience in dealing with the traveling public.
Our guides Elise and Tim were just great and a lot of fun.
We will definitely be back. The Matturros

text: Most folks think of the fourteen fret "jumbo" harkening back to the classics from Kalamazoo when they think of a slope-shouldered dreadnought. The Collings DS pays homage to the twelve fret variant made famous by a little guitar company in Pennsylvania. Featuring twelve frets to the body with a full 25 1/2" scale length means that not only is the body longer than a standard dreadnought, but that the bracing falls in a different spot as compared to a fourteen fret dreadnought...as does the bridge. To my ears, it seems to emphasize the mids a bit more. This particular guitar features the "3" series trim package, including the back strip, abalone rosette, and gold Waverly Sloane tuners with a slotted headstock. A warm, Western shade finish really sets off the top. Mahogany back and sides are a unique touch, as this model typically is built with rosewood. This guitar is in excellent condition with nary a nick or ding, and just a bit of swirl from gentle polishing. Includes original TKL case.SN#16137 $3699

Tennessee Shakespeare Company Stages Romeo and Juliet at Germantown Performing Arts Center January 28 and 30
Part of its renowned Romeo and Juliet Project funded by the National Endowment for the Arts
(Memphis, TN, January 9, 2014) – Tennessee Shakespeare Company brings a sweeping, youthful, full-cast production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to the Duncan-Williams Performance Hall at Germantown Performing Arts Center on January 28 and 30 at 7:00 pm. Opening night on January 28 will include a complimentary post-show reception with the actors.
Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE for both performances when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four per guardian.Directed by Stephanie Shine, Romeo and Juliet is part of Shakespeare for a New Generation, a national program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. This marks the first time in TSC's young history that it has been nationally-recognized with NEA funding.
The professional, multi-ethnic cast of actors and designers from around the country also will feature a six-actor ensemble from the theatre department at the University of Memphis.
The production is part of TSC's larger social and educational investment in its community: The Romeo and Juliet Project. Piloted in 2012, funded locally by ArtsMemphis to expand into Memphis schools in 2013, and now funded by the NEA and ArtsMemphis for 2014, the Project will send TSC's actor-teachers into Carver, Booker T. Washington, Ridgeway, Kirby, and Bartlett High Schools to teach every Freshman the play through an interactive, three-day anti-violence residency through February.
Following both public performances on January 28 and 30, a special community forum with audiences, actors, and director will be moderated by TSC founding member, education author, and Hutchison Middle School Head Barry Gilmore to explore together the many situations in the play that implore us to look within ourselves for social remedy.
The Project will also offer three morning student matinees of Romeo and Juliet for Mid-South elementary, middle, and high school students. More than 2,000 students are expected to participate. To book your school, teachers and administrators may call TSC Education Manager Slade Kyle at (901) 759-0620.
The title roles in Romeo and Juliet will be played by Seattle-based actors, and real-life couple, Rachel Brun and Joey Shaw.
Joey Shaw most recently played Menecrates in Seattle Shakespeare Company's Antony and Cleopatra. In the past year he played Tybalt in Shakespeare Walla Walla's Romeo and Juliet and designed sound for their It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, both directed by Stephanie Shine. University of Washington credits: Hair (Claude), Romeo and Juliet (Romeo), Macbeth (Macduff), and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Mitch).
Rachel Brun recently appeared at Seattle's Town Theatre in Domesticity and in Owen Meany's Christmas Pageant with Book-It Repertory Theatre. University of Washington credits: Stone Cold Dead Serious (Sharice), Macbeth (Lady Macduff), and Rough Magic (Miranda). Rachel appears as Gabrielle in the upcoming independent film, The Delicate Art of Bird Watching.
Returning to the TSC stage are Slade Kyle (Nurse, Tybalt), Cara McHugh (Lady Capulet), and Phil Darius Wallace* (Capulet, Apothecary). Performing for the first time with TSC are Isaac Anderson (Mercutio), Guillermo Jemmott (Benvolio), and Jamie Mann (Friar).
The University of Memphis ensemble includes Elizabeth Baines, Grace Bowers, Justin Burgess, Liz Kellicut, Matthew Nelson, and Joshua Tucker.
The design team includes the return of Bruce Bui's costumes with his associates Ashley Selberg and Haley Franklin, the properties of Kristen Greene, new fight choreography by Slade Kyle, and First Folio text consultancy by Neil Freeman in Vancouver. The scenic design is created by Los Angeles-based designer Elliot LaPlante, and the lighting design is created by Seattle-based Kent Cubbage.
"Romeo and Juliet contains the most breathtaking love scenes, the most riotous comedy, and the most heartbreaking sacrifice of young life of any of the plays, and all in one play," says director Shine, who also serves as TSC's Education Director. "It teaches us the most valuable lessons about the true evil of hate, the cleansing power of forgiveness, the necessity of bearing responsibility, and the freedom that accompanies truth.
"To lose young people to hate and violence is a punishment we feel too well in Memphis. Our daily news relays tragedies all too close to Romeo and Juliet. It is fitting that we use this play to introduce future generations to William Shakespeare and the great wisdom he offers. Maybe we can keep our children alive. It is fitting that the NEA is funding not only this production, but the three-day anti-violence residency that will partner with five Shelby County schools this year. One day, we may be able to serve all 40 public high schools in the county. Imagine the effect. And best of all, it is fitting we come together in the great numbers that performing at GPAC affords us so we may experience something together that may inspire us to create lasting change for our community."
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet first appeared on stage in 1595. He borrowed the story from a poem published in 1562 titled The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, written first in Italian by Bandell, then in English by Arthur Brooke. Shakespeare followed the poem's plot and used some of the same words for his dialogue.
As in all of the plays from which he borrows, his Romeo and Juliet is infused with deep humanity, new and unique characters, compacts the action into a few short days, and evolves the two young lovers into fully realized young people who build between them a love that is inclusive of their minds, spirits, and bodies. Until Shakespeare crafted his title characters for the stage, no other playwright had yet expressed so understandably the exhilaration, maturity, purity, and completeness of shared, young love.
Shakespeare also tells the entire story before his play begins – in his Prologue, written in 14-line sonnet form. What is popularly considered the greatest love story ever told is born in a world of rage. The ancient feud between the Capulet and Montague households infuses fair Verona with prejudice and hatred. No one ever says what started the violent feud, which prevents audiences from taking sides. Civilians are killing one another.
The only children of the houses of Montague and Capulet are teenagers Romeo and Juliet, and they are "star-cross'd." Fate is working against them, and these children will take their own lives because their love for one another cannot be requited in the world of violence their parents and ancestors have wrought. The suicides of Juliet and Romeo become the terrible sacrifice that is needed to end the rage. The children are unsavable, making the play a tragedy. But their deaths, and those of their young peers in the story, are remarkable for their timeless instruction to all ages.
"In response to violence, Romeo and Juliet offers us a great lesson in the power of individual choice, the freedom that truth brings, and, best of all, the hope for change," says Shine. "Romeo and Juliet shows us all what love and forgiveness can do to change a community for the better."
Stephanie Shine+ (Director) TSC directorial work includes It's a Wonderful Life: a Live Radio Play, Shakespeare's Greatest Hits, Southern Yuletide, Romeo and Juliet, and The Rebel Shakespeare and His Women. During her 18 years with Seattle Shakespeare Company, 13 as Artistic Director, she directed 17 productions, including The Threepenny Opera, Cyrano de Bergerac, and the lauded all-male Taming of the Shrew. A well-known actress in the Northwest, Stephanie has performed for Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle Shakespeare Company, ACT, The Empty Space, Seattle Children's Theatre, Book-It Repertory Theatre, and Tacoma Actors Guild. Regionally, she appeared with the Oregon and New Jersey Shakespeare Festivals, Houston's Alley Theatre, Arizona Theatre Company, and NYC's Theatre for a New Audience. Her Shakespeare roles include Juliet, Rosalind, Lady Macbeth, Beatrice, Regan, Feste, Kate, Bianca, Dionyza, The Princess of France, Hero, Perdita, and The Chorus in Henry V.

Richard III
the tragedy by William Shakespeare
directed by David Demke
and featuring Dan McCleary
GPAC/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall
October 30, 31, and November 1, 2014
at 7:00 pm
Sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor
"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me,
And if I die, no soul will pity me."
Only THREE special Halloween performances!
TSC's production of William Shakespeare's early Morality Play raises history from the dead to put the notorious King Richard III on trial before you and the spirit world.
Unearthed from a buried Friary just two years ago in Leicester, England, the painfully deformed 1485 skeleton of Richard now is brought to frightening life in a cadaver synod during which his murderous actions to the throne are reconsidered during the reverence of All Hallow's Eve. A soul still wandering between this life and the next, history's notorious "bottled spider" has much more he would like for you to consider before passing final judgment on his actions that gained him the throne but have haunted him ever since.
David Demke (A Midsummer Night's Dream) returns to TSC to direct the production with a stellar cast of eight actors, including the return of Caley Milliken, (TSC's Ariel, Marc Antony, Lady Capulet, and Peaseblossom), Paul Kiernan (TSC's Petruchio), Johnny Lee Davenport (TSC's Prospero, Oberon, and Othello), and Artistic Director Dan McCleary as the "bunch-back'd toad."
The creative team includes costumer Bruce Bui (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet), lighting designer Jeremy Fisher (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Unto the Breach), and scenic designer Brian Ruggaber (University of Memphis, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey).
Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for all performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Seating is general admission.

Aston Martin and Lotus each issue recalls
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Oct 14th, 2012 at 4:03PM
A pair of head-turning high performance cars are catching some attention off a different kind, in the form of safety recalls. Aston Martin and Lotus have issued recalls for the V12 Vantage Coupe and Evora, respectively. Aston Martin's affects 169 examples of the 2009-2012 V12 Vantage Coupe. It concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system, and is less a malfunction than it is a compliance issue. The TPMS does not alert the driver until the front tire is more than 25 percent below the recommended cold tire pressure. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 states that the alarm must...

hand-sewing hexagons together english-paper-pieceing style but had only ever completed small projects. The thought of a bigger quilt felt daunting to me.
Until I took a class from Kati about machine pieceing hexagons. So awesome! She has great tutorials here and here showing how she does it. Takes some patience, but so much faster than hand sewing. I also found an awesome 9" Hexagon die from AccuQuilt for my GO cutter and got it for myself for Christmas. Made the cutting SO slick. I think it's my new favorite die. I plan to put it to good use.
Emerson Quilting. I love how she custom quilted each hexagon. All of Emily's work is done free hand. Check out her website to see some of her amazing samples and great pricing. If you're looking for Sarah Jane fabrics they are still available at Fat Quarter Shop and Poppy Seed Fabrics.
