It's that time of year again...Rockland Shakespeare Company auditions are here!
We will be dedicating this 22nd Season of Magic, to our beloved friend, Keith Walters.
Come one, come all and let there be magic in thy majesty!

04/26/2019

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our friend and long-standing friend of the Performing Arts department and company member of the RSC, Keith Walters.

Keith was a friend, colleague, and mentor and we in the Rockland Shakespeare Company will forever remember him as a stable voice of reason, a generous person with whom to work, both on and off stage and a kind soul.

We will miss his boundless energy and charisma, his commitment to the roles he played and to the company, as well as his cornucopia of accents! However, the thing that we will miss most is his love and appreciation, not only for Shakespeare and theatre in general, but for his fellow company members.

Keith used to refer to the theatre as a temple…a glorious church in which actors congregate and share their passion and love for creating incredible stories to share with the world. To Keith, the theatre was a sacred place, open to all and for all. We will always share Keith’s feelings for theatre and will store the wonderful memories of him in a special place where they will remain forever and a day.

Keith was looking forward to returning to the Rockland Shakespeare Company this summer, and we had hoped that he would take on one of the Bard’s last greatest characters, that of Prospero in The Tempest. To close this brief tribute, I feel that a parcel of those words would be fitting – though before the end, there remains words to be uttered…Until this great journey reunites us…Thank you, Keith.

With love,
~Your RSC and Performing Arts family.

“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”

― Shake-speare, The Tempest
