Dear fir. Harkness
We have learned with great interest that some thought is being
given to the construction of a permanent stage in Piedmont Park
to be used by the annual Arts Festival, and various performing
groups in Atlanta.
The Atlanta Civic Ballet ardently supports such an endeavor, for
we are well aware of the limited facilities avajlable to all of
the perforining arts in our communitys A more expanded schedules
of dance programs would be possible with such a facility, parti~
culariy in the area of special performances for young peoplé.
For over 25 years the Atlanta Civic Ballet has presented a special
series of Saturday afternoon matinees for elementary school children,
using high school auditoriums, at an admission charge of only 60¢s
We feel ther, in this area alone, much could be accomplished with
a facility which would be available to us at no cost, or for a very
nominal fee, Arrangements for the use of high school auditoriums
are not always easy To make, and the time aval lable in them is
very limiteds
Even with the construction of a new city auditorium, and the theater
and auditorium in the Cultural Center, facilities will be extremely
limited, and rental charges would be out of the question for perfor=
mances of the type mentioned above. “The Atlanta Civic Ballet feels
that it would be able to use to good advantage an additional perfor=
ming fact litye
We shali be glad to consult with you further in this regard, should
you desire to do Soe
