Greetings!

 

In November, 2002, the Hood River Valley High Performing Arts Department will present the first Oregon production of Les Miserables—School Edition.  We are honored to have the privilege of bringing this beloved musical to a local stage, but as you might imagine, it will be an undertaking of massive proportions. 

 

Nearly a hundred students from our community will be involved, including students from private and public schools throughout the county.  This will truly be a community-wide effort.

 

Obviously, a production this large creates budgetary needs far beyond our minimal school funding, so we are seeking donations, sponsorships, and advertising to make up the difference.  We hope you will be able to make a contribution—however small—to this historic production.

 

For every ad, donation, or sponsorship $25 and over, you will receive one complimentary ticket to the show.  Fifty dollars and above, 2 free tickets; $75 and above, 4 free tickets.  Advertising rates are as follows: 2”x2 ˝” (1/8 page)--$25; 2 ˝”x 3 ˝” (quarter page)--$50; half-page ad--$75; full page ad--$100.  You may also donate as a patron ($25 and below), sponsor ($26-$50), associate producer ($51-$75), or producer ($76-above).
