m <br /> Cabarrus County " " <br /> Department of parks and Recreation <br /> <br /> P.O. Box 707 Concord, N.C. 28025 Phone 704-786-74'11 <br /> <br /> Williom K. Cowon - Direclor <br /> <br /> February 27, 1984 <br /> <br />Ms. Grace Mynatt, President <br />Cabarrus Arts Council <br />23 Un,on St. N. <br />Concord, N.C. 2B025 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. ~ynatt: <br /> <br /> The accompanying request is a proposal by the Cabarrus County <br />Parks and Recreation Department to obtain additional funding for a <br />summer musical production bY the Cabarrus Youth Theatre. As noted <br />in the request, these funds will be used to hire professional con- <br />sultants to assist in creating and directing the production. <br /> <br /> Although the program is currently funded by local tax dollars, <br />~lans are to establish a youth theatre association as a self-govern- <br />lng, s~=,-=.~r,~.~ng organization. Therefore, we feel that it is <br />essential to establish sources of outside funding at this time. <br /> <br /> Future plans for program expansion include: dramas, broadway <br />musicals, a dance theatre, classes in creative dramatics, special <br />performances for senior citizens and activities for the mentally <br />and physically handicapped, It is also proposed that the theatre <br />function on a year-round basis as opposed to a summer-only format. <br /> <br /> The Parks and Recreation Department is very pleased to be a <br />part of this outstanding program. I~e feel that with the full <br />support of the Cabarrus Arts CounCil and the Cabarrus community <br />at large, thb Cabarrus Youth Theatre can play an important role in <br />the cultural development of Cabarrus County. Thank you for your <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Special Programs Supervisor <br /> <br /> <br />
