Subject:Fwd: Please approve SLO Rep Theatre project
Dear City Council,
I am writing to strongly endorse the building of the new SLO Rep Theatre and the corresponding parking structure. Such
a building is long overdue and to reject its plan at this time would be extremely detrimental to its future as
well as the future of downtown SLO. SLO REP has been a local grass roots organization since its inception over
forty years ago. I strongly believe that the new theatre building will enhance our downtown and showcase the
city’s commitment to a locals roots organizations as well as the local arts.
My husband Tom Nuckols and I have been series subscribers to the theater for years and have watched it
grow. Kevin Harris has created a first rate theater experience in SLO. Since he took over, productions have
improved, and since it has been made into a repertory company that quality has escalated to new heights.
Thus the need for the new building--they have simply run out of space. The city now needs to do its part to
support this vital organization and allow its potential to blossom.
Sincerely,
Carol MacCurdy
