Last year we played to over 30,000 admissions including nearly 8,000 young people attending our Theatre for Young Audiences series and the special production of A Closer Walk With Patsy Cline at the Lincoln Theatre in Decatur. This winter we "hit the road" with a murder mystery dinner theatre presentation that we took to Casey, Effingham, Kaskaskia Country ClubLb,Litchfield, Mattoon, Paris (Illinois). Stoney's Restaurant in Dalton City and the Sullivan Country Club. Special thanks goes to Consolidated Communications for giving us a grant to underwrite the costs of that project. It was a huge success and we hope to continue to provide this type of entertainment to towns throughout our myket area. Our long range plans for physical plant improvements include upgrading the air con- ditioning in the theatre and installing a heating system so we can bqin programming throughout the year instead of during summer months only. We continue to look for funds to bring this to reality. Unfortunately, the current attitudes of government units complicates the funding picture for the arts. We are proud of the quality of our productions and promise that we will continue to work hard to justify the faith you have shown us by being here for this performance. Sincerely, +a.
