investment properties, multi-family units and land,

PYT would not be able to continue with our mission to
provide outstanding theatrical experiences to our
community without the support of sponsors such as

| Seeking Theatre in the Park Video |
|
|
PYT is seeking video from any of the Theatre in the
Park final performances from last summer for a
promotional video to be used for sponsorship and
grant purposes. If you have footage you would like to
share, please email Karen Simpson, Executive
Director at ksimpson@pytnet.org.

| Palo Alto Children's Theatre |
|
|
We have recently had some questions from parents
about a financial investigation
being conducted into Palo Alto Children's Theatre,
particularly as some reports have simply listed "a
children's theater on the Peninsula."
Peninsula Youth Theatre is a private, nonprofit
organization. We have no affiliation with the Palo Alto
Children's Theatre or the City of Palo Alto.
As such we are not a part of any investigation. The
board and staff of PYT are very sorry for what the
children and parents of that community are going
through at this time and hope there is a speedy
resolution.
