FROM THE CO-CHAIRS:
MEDIA SPONSOR
On, Tuesday June 17, 2014, the Shakespeare Theatre Company held
its 12th annual Will on the Hill event. The most successful event
to date, we welcomed a phenomenal cast and distinguished
Members of Congress, national media personalities, corporate VIPs
and Senior Hill staff to Sidney Harman Hall and raised a record
$465,000 for the Theatre’s year-round education and community
engagement programs.
EXECUTIVE
Following the pre-performance reception with the Who’s Who of
Washington, the evening’s guests settled in for the show. The Will
on the Hill performance was preceded by a scene from Henry IV,
Part 1 prepared by the Theatre’s star Text Alive! class from Charles
Flowers High School—set in The Amadeus Bar in Mumbai, India and
done with a Bollywood flair—a key demonstration of the programs
supported by Will on the Hill’s fundraising efforts. DIRECTOR

The illustrious cast of Peter Byrne’s original play, Lend Me Your
Ears then took the stage, featuring Emmy and Golden Globe
Award® Nominee Harry Hamlin (Mad Men, L.A. Law), Tony Award®
Nominee Hannah Yelland (Shakespeare Theatre Company’s The
Winter’s Tale and Kneehigh’s Brief Encounter) and Nicholas Bruder
(Macbeth in Punchdrunk’s Drama Desk Award® winning Sleep No
More). Fellow cast members included Senator Roger Wicker, the
Honourable Ian Liddell-Grain ger MP, The Washington Post’s Dana
Milbank, The Weekly Standard’s Kelly Jane Torrance and nearly
twenty U.S. Representatives including Reps. Donna Edwards, Michael
Grimm, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Jim Moran and Tom Rice. The show
“warmed our bipartisan-craving hearts” (Roll Call), finding creative
ways to work in good-natured jabs at contemporary political issues
as the play centered around the theme of working across the aisle,
and the power of Shakespeare triumphing in the end!
The evening concluded with a buffet dinner attended by Will on the
Hill sponsors, cast members, the Honorary Hill Advisory Committee
and Will on the Hill’s Media Partner The Hill.
On behalf of the Shakespeare Theatre Company and all those who
participate in its programming, we would like to extend our most
sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who made this year’s Will
on the Hill possible. Your commitment is crucial to the continued
success of the Theatre’s work to bring arts education programs to
so many high school and middle school classrooms throughout the
D.C. metro area each year. Thank you for your dedication to the
Shakespeare Theatre Company!

YOUR GIFT SUPPORTS STC’S ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS
We seek to empower learners to think critically, question freely, share openly and engage in an ongoing
exploration of Shakespeare.
The central mission of the Shakespeare Theatre Company Education Department is to deepen understanding
of, appreciation for and connection to classic theatre in diverse learners of all ages through accessible
programs that celebrate multiple perspectives. We seek to fulfill this mission by strengthening our
collaborations with schools locally and nationally, engaging in scholarly dialogue with community and audience
members, and increasing our use of technology.
