Subject:New SLO REP Site Approval
Please approve the new site for the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre (SLO REP). SLO REP enhances city cultural and
economic goals. It offers amazing stories on stage, stories that bring residents and visitors together to experience
universal values of struggle, love, family and forgiveness. It launches children in drama classes to connect with important
ideas. Also, it provides an entertainment alternative to downtown pub crawl and viewing bubblegum alley. The existing
structure is almost dilapidated and we have outgrown it. We turn children away from classes and patrons from popular
shows. As a board member I am committed to raising funds for a new home and I expect us to be shovel ready in 2021.
Thank you sincerely for your consideration.
