Show on reasonable terms, and PCP would welcome use by the Intermountain Actors Ensemble and for other purposes ranging from political and social meetings to children's music recitals. Third, it would be nice to once again have traveling productions appear frequently at the Egyptian. When such events occur they are normally brought in by a local producer who assumes the financial risks involved. PCP's earlier experience in this area proved costly, and we cannot not responsibly undertake significant production risks. However, the theater is available to independent producers on either a fixed-sum or percentage-of-gross basis. In closing, I heartily endorse the main point of your editorial, namely that Park City needs to unite in securing a permanent performing arts facility and that "the Egyptian would be just the Place." I urge everyone to update hisher opinion about the Egyptian by coming to the current production, "THIS is the Place!," any Friday or Saturday this summer. Sincerely, Frank E. Harris Secretary-Treasurer Park City Performances The Egyptian of the best Editor: I thought last week's editorial reflected a timely concern for the future of the performing arts in Park City. In addition, I was pleased that it identified the crucial and generous role played by Randy Fields in permitting the survival of Park City Performances. There are a few observations I would like to add. First, we can be proud that despite its inadequate and rather chummy dressing rooms, the Egyptian is regarded by theater people as one of the best plants in the state. Visiting directors are impressed by the extent and condition of its technical facilities. Both as a legitimate theater and as a movie house the Egyptian is well worth preserving. Second, it should be more widely known that the Egyptian Theatre is indeed available to all local groups |
