[Ansteorra-announce] A special thanks to our patrons

[Adam Seymour]

Greetings Unto All of Ansteorra,

Our theatrical season has come to a conclusion with the final performance 
of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the recent Loch Guardian event. And while 
I was unable to see the actual performance, I heard that it was another 
triumph for the players whom I employ. In spite of what various members of 
that troupe - The Baron's Men - might have said, I *was* truly present at 
the event this last weekend. You may check the event rolls that were kept by 
the gate guard if you do doubt me. I was not present for the actual 
performance because I took a misfortunate turn and got my wagon stuck fast 
in the mud at the far back of the event site. When I finally made my way 
clear of the muck, I stumbled into the Cock and Pie tavern where that 
Stephen Tapster rogue and his bar wench made me quite drunk and I fell 
asleep under the bar. All that I remember of the performance was the hooting 
of some actor that sounded remarkably like an owl. (Odd fellowes, those 
actors.) 

However, it is not my purpose to prose on about my mishaps, but to thank the 
very kind and generous souls who patroned the troupe and my theatre this 
season and made this production of The Merry Wives of Windsor possible. 
Therefore on behalf of myself and of The Baron's Men, I wish to extend a 
most heartfelt thanks to the following gentles:

Lady Niccola Setaro
Lady Katherine Brandon
Caitlin nan Cnoc Airghead
Mistress Hillary Greenslade
Baroness Michelle Chantal de Charente & Sir Asoph Hearts
Lady Lessa
Their Excellencies Sir Godwin of Eddington and Mistress Ellisena de Bayonne
Master Michael Silverhands
Master Ivarr Runemagi
Their Royal Magesties Miguel & Conol

A great many people did also donate money to the troupe at the Cock and Pie 
tavern, and to them I also give great thanks, though I'm not entirely 
certain what that shifting tapster did with the money. I can most honestly 
say that our productions could not happen without our precious patrons and 
supporters and we truly thank thee one and all. 

I remain,
Adam Seymour
Proprietor, The Aster Theatre
