From: katherine metz Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 7:34 AM To: Emily Lo; Manny Cappello Cc: Dave Anderson Subject: Please fund Shady Shakespeare Dear Council members: Please increase
funding for Shady Shakespeare. My husband and I have been Saratoga residents since 1993. Over the years we have greatly enjoyed Shady Shkespeare's free performances in Sanborn Park,
bringing our three children (now teens and young adults) and their friends. To their surprise, they loved the plays as much as picnicking in the lovely outdoor setting, even though most
had never seen Shakespeare before. While Mountain Winery, Montalvo, and other Saratoga programs offer quality performances for a steep price, this unique Saratoga arts program is accessible
to all in the West Valley. As families economize and school arts programs struggle, it is critical that everyone can experience classic theater. The intimate Shady Shakespeare performances
nestled in the redwoods create an appreciation for the arts that will last children a lifetime. Sincerely, Katherine & Michael Metz 19231 Valle Vista Drive
