Subject:Building Project for SLOREP
Dear Committee Members,
As the widow of a retired Marine Corps officer’s wife, I have had the pleasure of attending live theater performances in
many cities throughout the United States including New Your City as well as live performances around the world from
London to Tokyo to Havana. In my experiences as a theater goer, I have never been as pleased as I am when I attend a
performance at SLOREP. I am writing to you in support of you approving the building project for SLOREP.
I hope you will consider the following facts about the new building project. First, SLOREP is the only non profit
professional theater in San Luis Obispo. Secondly, it’s location in the downtown area of San Luis Obispo adds cultural
vitality to the city and, thus, is a beacon of culture to visitors as well as residents of SLO. A third reason to look favorably
on the building project is, that with the new main stage and black box theaters, three times as many patrons will be able
to attend performances as can attend them now in it’s present location. The final reason for me, and perhaps one of the
most important as a retired elementary school teacher, is that SLOREP will be able to have more student involvement.
With the larger facility, SLOREP can not only double the amount of classes it now offers local students, but it will also be
able to host student matinees for area school students.
I urge you to approve the building project for SLOREP. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan George
