STRIKE AT THE WIND
RECEIVES GRANT
North Carolina Theatre Arts has
awarded a grant for S3,991.75 to "Strike
at the Wind!" for the 1979 season.
According to general manager Lane
Hudson, the grant will be used to
conduct a membership and fund raising
campaign for the local state drama.
"Many people thinly-we are. self
supporting through ticket sales," said
Hudson, "but it is simply not true. The
only way ticket sales could support our
show would be for us to charge S10 per
person at the bos office. We prefer
however to raise the difference through
fund raising. All outdoor dramas must
raise money off season to continue. . It
is a never ending effort."
The membership drive, according to
the manager, will begin in January and
continue until March, with direct mail
contact, posters, radio and newspaper
advertisements.
"Strike at the Wind!" is Rsadolph
Umberger's story of RobeaonCoudty
