Dear Mr. Ballou;
This year Bangor Community Theatre is taking a huge step -
forward. On February 12, 17, 14 and 15th BCT will present
the award winning musical "The Fantasticks" at Portland Hall
Theatre, Bangor Community College Campus. We have an out-
standing cast of community people including Dennie Mills,
Don Carrigan and Henry D'Aleasandria.. We are extremely
excited about the show.
What does this have to do w
you. For over twenty years

I would like to ask a Savor of the City Council. We would
like to have the week of February 9 through 14 designated
"Bangor Community Theatre" week. It would tin in with our
publicity on -The Pantasticks", which would be a great boost
for this production.
Ohyea, what's the huge step we've taken? "The Fantasticks"
is our own production. We are doing it in conjunction with
Bangor Community College, but without a sponsor. We feel
very strongly that In order for us to continue to grow and
be able to bring good theatre to the people of Bangor we must
have a permanent residence. This means acquiring a building...
which takes money. The money raised from "FantaSticks• will
Start our building fund. And prove that Bangor will support
its own theatre group.
Please give this your serious consideration. If you have any
questions, I will be more than happy to answer them... just
call on me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Carolyner Fish
Presiders , Bangor Community Theatre
