      Kevin-
      The book is inspiring, of course, but the deal-maker is the bonus accordian riff - extra pledge included! Expect to hear about the accordian mp3 file soon.

      Hi Kevin! Congratulations! Your on a roll now! Thanks so much for the "Tyrolean Tune" on the accordion. Brought a tear to Verena's eye! Don't know if it was the tune or your playing, but it worked! Just kidding, of course! You're quite good, but practice makes perfect, so keep those fingers busy! Greetings from a cold and blustery Vienna! Christophe

      Hi Kevin, Verena and I are glad to support your project in our small way! Verena grew up in Carinthia (Villach and Klagenfurt) and she loves the accordion! ... but that is just the "icing on the "Dobosz Torte""! The book looks awsome! All the best, Christophe

Connected as Kevin Sprague (1081 friends)

I'm a photographer, graphic designer and accordion player living in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. We're surrounded by rich cultural offerings here with theaters, music, dance, art, museums, history and so much more. I've had the privilege of providing marketing and photography services to Shakespeare & Company (www.shakespeare.org) for 15 years as the Creative Director of Studio Two, and there is no richer medium to play in than the world of William Shakespeare. Every opportunity to re-imagine how to illustrate "Romeo and Juliet" or "Julius Caesar" is a chance to engage in the fantastic imagination of the world's greatest playwright.

I hope you'll join me in bringing "Imagining Shakespeare" to life.
