Thank you very much for taking the time to talk and your interest. As discussed, we are building the first theatre for the classics in New York since Lincoln Center's 1965 Vivian Beaumont. We have raised $52.5 million and have $16 million to go -- $10 million of which is a gift to name the building. We have no endowment and this $10 million gift will be permanently endowed and become our first endowment. Regarding your idea of naming gifts, it would be sensational to name this building in honor of Julie. Julie is on our Board and Honorary Chair of the Capital Campaign. We have worked together many times and I've known her for over 30 years. Julie is directing the inaugural production which opens November, 2013. Attached is a PDF of my October 8 letter to you. It tells you about the project and a PDF of the renderings. I very much look forward to meeting and showing you our site when you return. Construction is on schedule. Best, Jeffrey Jeffrey Horowitz Founding Artistic Director Theatre for a New Audience www.tfana.org EFTA00641723
