As we all know, our arts have been cut tremendously, and without the young performers contributing to the cause there would be no musical theater for everyone to enjoy. I had to write this letter. I went out with a smile on face, a dance in my step and a letter addressed to potential advertisers for their help. I targeted largely the smaller businesses because I knew the larger corporations would require many months advance notice. In our largely family-populated city we have many small businesses that, without the support of the community, would surely be out of business.
