Rafael Agustin, Miles Gregley, Liesel Reinhart, and Steven T.
Seagle.

arrangement, NALIP Members can attend the Friday, May
7th performance of the brilliant new production
developed in conjunction with Jose Luis Valenzuela, the Latino
Theatre Company and Speak Theatre Arts for the ridiculously
low price of $10 per person. The show, which the LA Times
describes as a “cult phenomenon... reminiscent of early
Culture Clash or the comedy of Chris Rock is… drawing critical
raves. For direct ticket purchase and access to the discount

located at 514 S. Spring St. in downtown LA. Showtime is at 8

about a new funding initiative. Feel free to forward to others

New Production Funding
Initiative from CPB
CHICAGO PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE:
Tuesday, May 11, 2004
The Corporation for Public
Broadcasting has launched a new multi-million dollar
programming initiative. America at a Crossroads represents a
major effort by CPB to fulfill its mandate to promote programs
that inform, enlighten, and enrich the public dialogue about
crucial public affairs issues, and enhance the knowledge and
citizenship of all Americans. This initiative focuses on the
post-9/11 world and how it has affected the American
imagination as well as our political, economic, cultural and
social realities, our security and our relationship with other
nations. The RFP is available at http://www.cpb.org/tv/funding/crossroads/.
To better answer questions about the initiative, we are
conducting a pre-proposal conference. CPB staff will be on
hand, and there will be a panel of experts to discuss some of
the major themes that might make for good productions. There
will be ample time for questions and a small reception will
follow the meeting. The details are below:
