From Manhattan Community Board 4's Theater Task Force:
This Wednesday, February 3rd, at the Fulton Center Auditorium, 119 Ninth Avenue (between 17th and 18th Streets), Manhattan Community Board 4 is going to consider a letter written by its Theater Task Force for passage.
At 6:30, on that evening, members of the public are invited to sign-up for a public session at which they will be given two minutes to speak on any topic that interests them.
Any member of the public, who resides or works (or performs) within the confines of Community District 4, 14th Street to 59th, 8th Avenue to the Hudson River, is invited to attend.
If you are a theater artist, who supports the tax credit initiative that the unprecedented alliance of Community Board Arts related committees are developing, we need your support at that meeting.
We need you there to speak up on its behalf.
The chances of the passage of the CB4 Theater Task Forces letter (pasted below for your review) which informs our elected officials of the Community Board alliance formed to support small to mid-sized non-profit performing arts organizations, and in addition, asks for their consideration of an innovative tax credit proposal to help us reduce the crisis confronting the independent theater sector, can only benefit from your presence and participation at this public session.
Community Board 5 will be meeting at the First Alliance Church 127 West 26th Street, 2nd floor, at 6 p.m., on February 11, 2010.
Your support at that meeting, if you are an artist that lives or works in that district, 14th Street to 59th, from Lexington Avenue to Eighth Avenue) is just as necessary and useful.
As other Community Boards bring this resolution (or letter) up for a vote, we will let you know of the time, date and place of their respective meetings.
Please make every effort to attend if you can.
