Dear Council Members,
As the widow of a retired Marine Corps officer, I have had the pleasure of attending live theater
performances in many cities throughout the United States including New York City as well as live
performances around the world from London to Tokyo to Havana. In my experiences as a theater
patron, I have never been as pleased as I am when I attend a performance at SLOREP. I am writing to
you in support of the city council 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 now attend them
in the 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
