A Special Offer from ARTS

My pal Bil Neal, current president of ARTS, sends along this information about an exciting offer from that group.

He writes:

Gene Anthony, retired MU Professor in the Theatre Department, with stage, movie, and television credits to his name, announced the end of his retirement yesterday morning at 8 a.m.

I'm amazed to announce that this tremendous talent is joining forces with ARTS to aid in our goal to truly become the established Resource for Community Theatre in our area. Gene has generously offered to teach - at no cost - one Tap class and one Acting class for adults (18 and over) once a week for a series of eight weeks for as long as there is community interest, beginning in July. His desire is simple - to give all of us a working knowledge of these arts, a strong foundation, and elevate our standards of Performing Arts in our community.

Because of the overwhelming response his announcement generated, I've started taking names and phone numbers of interested people and began an on-going lottery. If you'd like to take advantage of this talented man's outrageous offer, call me at 304-544-3926 and let me know.

If you're not interested in these, I encourage you to keep your eyes on ARTS. With the help of Gene Anthony, we're raising our own commitment to the arts in our community... and building a culture.
