An open letter to supporters
“I think it’s about our spirit and our health. It’s about how much we expose young people to arts education, to music and to poetry, to theatre and ballet. And this isn’t about people who want to go into the Arts, this is about what it does to people’s sense of confidence, to people’s sense of self esteem, to what they can learn about themselves.” -Kevin Spacey on the threat to cut arts funding
As you are well aware, Young Performers Theatre is an invaluable tool for kids. Our classes and plays give youth the opportunity to learn vital skills that will help them grow into empathetic, creative, cooperative, flexible and confident adults. It also instills a love and appreciation for all the arts, something that is key to the future of the arts in our country.
At Fort Mason we are able to be in a safe and convenient area, but the rent continues to rise yearly. Please help us keep your children safe, inspired and expressive by donating any amount to YPT/Anthony Manning Kunin Foundation. You can contribute by check or credit card. Every single penny counts. Thank you so much.
Warmly,
The staff at YPT
