BITP Update - 12/7

Happy Holidays and welcome to the December update for Broadway In The Park. We're jazzed about all the new developments this past month and are excited to share them with you. Without further ado...

Stamp Of Approval
Late November I received a conspicuous package in my mailbox from the California Secretary of State. Giddy, I opened to it see if our non-profit incorporation had come through. Good news guys... we're official! Click on the picture of awesomeness to the right to see our stamped letter in all its glory. We're happy to say we can start fundraising in the new year and look forward to establishing our not-for-profit corporation, Broadway In The Park, as the premiere theatre festival in the South Bay!

Community Blessing
Last month we updated you on our approval by the City of El Segundo's Parks Commission - granting us space for our summer event. On the first of December we were proud to take our little company to City Council for a final ruling. Approved unanimously, we're happy to have the support of Mayor Kelly McDowell and the rest of the Council. We look forward to partnering with the city as plans develop.

Holiday Magic
We've saved the best for last! On Sunday, December 13th, Broadway In The Park will debut to the public at the annual El Segundo Christmas Parade. Featuring local theatre stars singing an original pop song, a team of dancers fresh off the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, and a metric ton of candy, we're ready to blow the roof (hmm, it's outdoors... clouds?) off of the place as we make our "grand entrance" into El Segundo. A Facebook event will be going up shortly with the scoop. We hope you'll come down this weekend and support us!

That's the lowdown. Thanks for your support and excitement as we prepare to make theatre magic in 2010. We wouldn't be here without you guys! Have a wonderful Holiday... and here's looking to the new year. Onward and upward!
