1-8-18 Handout- Celia Frank ABET Your intimate theatre in Atlantic Beach Atlantic Beach Experimental Theatre • 1015 Atlantic Blvd. • #175 Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 • Reservations: 249-7177 Celia Frank, Managing Artistic Director; e-mail: celiaabet(a_gmail.com Aine, Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. We would like to offer you the opportunity to rejoin ABET to produce our children's theater program. We understand that you will continue to offer three classes during the academic year(Saturday mornings and Monday afternoons) and a full summer program. The fmancial offer outlined below depends on that. Further the hours that you have had use of the theater(up to 3PM on Saturdays and up to6PM on Mondays)during the academic year shall continue as is -no ABET stage production activity nor teen program activity will bother you during those times. In the past we understand that you paid expenses for your program from the monies that ABET paid you. We believe that that should change. We propose that ABET would cover your expenses up to $4000 per year and pay you 80% of all income from the program OR pay you 90%of all income from the program and you continue to pay the expenses. In addition, you would have access to all of ABET's resources, including props, set materials and costumes, as well as our advertising for the children's program in all public relations such as website, online newsletter, facebook posts and media press releases. You would no longer be required to pay for lighting. You would no longer have insurance costs. We would work with you on developing a yearly calendar which would include time for your shows built into the season, as well as time for construction of your sets. We would schedule regular meetings with you, myself and show directors to coordinate an optimal way for us all to use the stage. You would be able to store some items in the theater according to the specific needs of each of ABET's and your productions. We would like for you to submit this to your Board. If they agree to this or to a modified version, we will then submit that to our Board. Thanks, Celia ABET performs at The Adele Grage Cultural Center * 716 Ocean Blvd.,Atlantic Beach FL.
