Proposed Use of Grant Funds <br /> We are requesting support for the four productions and one workshop that will comprise <br /> our 2012-2013 season. These are: August Wilson's last play, Radio Golf, about a lawyer <br /> campaigning to become the first African American mayor of Pittsburth, followed by She <br /> Stoops to Conquer,the classic farce of inadvertent class warfare by Oliver Goldsmith. <br /> The new year will bring the second annual New Play Workshop, featuring a playwright- <br /> in-residence and a script-under-construction; the Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical, <br /> Next to Normal, and The Cripple of Inishmaan, Martin McDonagh's hilarious and heart- <br /> rending comedy set in a rural Irish community. These plays reflect our desire to explore <br /> themes and issues pertinent to our community and to present work from a variety of eras <br /> and perspectives; they also testify to the maturity of our theater in the eleven years of our <br /> existence. <br /> Challenges/Long Range planning <br /> Our top three challenges in the coming year will be (1)to work with the owners of <br /> University Mall and our new neighbors,the Chapel Hill Library; (2)to expand our board <br /> and our fundraising capabilities, and (3) to build and strengthen our relationships in the <br /> community to increase our potential audience and our institutional support. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br />
