r ' MEMO TO: .Janet {'eine John WoskoffV 111/1 FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director- Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: September 12, 1984 RE: Community Theater Proposal As per our dinner discussion last week, I have developed the following list of items that need to be compiled in a clear cohesive manner as a Community Thea- ter proposal. I envision that the Community Theater proposal will be present- ed to the four municipalities as well as the Mounds View Community Education Department for their review and formal approval. Items that need to be included in the proposal are as follows: 1. A copy of by-laws and/or structure as to how the Community Theater Board would function. This item would also need to include a statement as to how the relationship between the four municipalities, School District and theater board would function. 2. An annual budget proposing both revenue and expenditures for the develop- ment of a Community Theater program. As part of the budgetary process you would need to determine how many plays, time periods and financial feasi- bility of the productions. • 3. A staffing proposal outlining staff salaries; including brief job descrip- tions outlining what each of the paid staff members would do. 4. A publicity or public relations campaign, highlighting how the Community Theater program would he promoted and publicised. 5. A proposal outlining how the required funds would be attained, i.e. a per- centage share from each of the municipalities and School District and/or funding from Minnesota Associated Arts Board, etc. 6. A past history of the Mounds View Community Theater under Mel Olson and an overview of existing community theater organizations in surrounding areas to specifically establish the need for a community theater program within the School District. Additional items that would be included would be population figures, relationship to existing community theater programs and past experiences. 7. A section dedicated to interviewing existing community itY theater programs to determine the success and/or history of other community theater organiza- tions that have functioned in a similar capacity. 8. We would need letters of support from community "activists" including School District administration, local Park and Recreation staff, School District staff and other interested community residents. 9. We would need a letter of committment from either the School District or 111/1 Irondale High School principal stating that facilities would be available at Irondale for the times as outlined. Should you have any questions regarding any of these items, feel free to con- tact myself directly at 784-3055, ext. #41. BKA/sll
