Dear Denise,

Welcome back to campus and another year of exciting Center Stage Theater Club events at
Yellowhammer College! This past year marked the fifteenth anniversary of Center Stage, one
of the oldest school clubs on campus. From humble beginnings (one faculty advisor and six
students), we have staged dozens of productions. Even more gratifying than our tremendous
growth has been the expansion of student playwrights, directors, actors, and stage hands.

At our core is a commitment to produce contemporary plays and provide unique opportunities
for students to deepen their understanding of themselves and the world.

We fund drama scholarships and honor an outstanding scholastic drama student each
semester. Center Stage also sponsors a group to travel to London over the Christmas holiday
to attend West End productions. This popular tour is open to all students.

This Halloween, we will partner with our friends in the Audio and Film Production Department
to live-stream scary tales by Edgar Allen Poe and other authors performed as a live radio play.
Well be performing in front of a live audience complete with sinister music, creepy sound
effects, and nerve-wracking suspense.

Our mission is to provide theatrical opportunities for students and other members of the
community through the production of live theater. Were honored to serve our campus
community.

Attached youll find a brochure you can share with folks interested in joining Center Stage.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to volunteer or have comments or questions.

Warmly,

Scott Forrest
