Subject:Please approve SLO REP Theatre project
SLO REP is the only non-profit professional theatre in San Luis Obispo County,
presenting plays and classes year round, and it has outgrown its current home, the
former library on Morro Street. SLO REP strengthens the cultural vitality of
Downtown SLO.
Expanded space and programming at SLO REP will attract larger numbers of
residents and visitors, making them an even greater economic driver for Downtown
San Luis Obispo.
Founded as SLO Little Theatre, SLO REP is now in its 73rd consecutive season of
producing live theatre, making it one of the region’s oldest arts institutions, and one
of the nation’s oldest, continuously operating non-profit theatres, currently running
productions 46 weeks of the year. We have been season ticket holders and donors
since we moved to SLO three years ago.
Thank you for your consideration and approval of this project.
Mike and Christy Palmer
