  Since 1970, Dr. James Ayres has been conducting an ongoing experiment in study through performance called Shakespeare at Winedale.A professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Ayres believes that Shakespeare's plays were not written just to be read in the classroom, but to be performed on the stage.Secluding himself and his students on the rustic UT-owned Winedale properties, Dr. Ayres teaches the craft of play-making from the ground up.The students focus on the language of the plays at first, but before they take their work before a public audience they will have learned about lighting, costumes, make-up, props, and music.From a two-week workshop at the end of a fall semester class, the program has flourished and now boasts twenty-four performances of three plays prepared over a nine-week summer semester.At the end of this summer, Dr. Ayres will step down as director of the program, turning leadership over to his colleague (and former student) Dr. James Loehlin.

  James Ayres was a young English professor, 33, teaching a class in what's now called Parlin Hall, facing the South Mall.When another professor came in to warn someone was shooting from the Tower, the students all ran to the windows.
  
  " The first thing that occurs to you in something like this, " Ayres said, " is it's just not believable.Completely unbelievable."

  Since that time my husband Jim (Dr. James Ayres, retired University of Texas Professor) and I have spent quality time in England, France and Spain where Jim taught Shakespeare and I was able to study the local culture, as well as the property sales techniques and procedures of these countries.
  
  In 1999, we bought a farmhouse in Rutersville (about 10 miles from Round Top), much to the delight of our 7 children and 13 grandchildren, who think the neighbors' cows are ours. We love it and it provides me with a good working knowledge of what it takes to live in the country.
  
  My focus is on service to buyers and sellers and to the community at large: St. Paul's Lutheran in LaGrange, the DYD (Do Your Duty) Club in Round Top, the Midsummer Night at Winedale fundraising advisory council for UT's Shakespeare at Winedale (of which Jim is founding director), the Round Top Family Library Chili Cook-off fundraiser, Relay for Life cancer fundraiser, and Peru Future Seekers team which provides funds for children's education in Colique, Peru.
