Arts Commission Announces $2,238,052 in Statewide Grant Awards for Fiscal Year 2009-2010
On June 18, 2009, the Governor-appointed members of the Arizona Commission on the Arts approved $2,238,052 in matching grants to arts and community organizations and schools for the 2009–2010 fiscal year. These grants are funded by the Arts Commission’s state appropriation, the Arizona Arts Trust Fund, the Arizona ArtShare Endowment, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Since its visionary performances began eleven years ago, Tsunami on the Square has brought live, cutting-edge, family-friendly performing arts free to Prescott each June.
This year, because of the downturn in the economy, the Tsunami festival is in trouble and needs your help. We need to raise $4,000 to cover remaining costs of this year’s Tsunami festival. Please become a Tsunami Angel today. Follow this link to the Tsunami web site and click on the DONATE button to help:
An annual Circus Camp for Kids is teaching a new generation performance skills including stilt walking, mask making, percussion, singing and dancing. Please see the Gallery [web link to Gallery] for more great photos of Tsunami Festivals.
Operating with minimal staff, an active Board, and many community volunteers, Tsunami has still struggled financially since its early days. And yet, with support from local businesses, community donors, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and the City of Prescott, has still made its budget every year. Until now. For 2009, Tsunami faces a $4,000 shortfall in its $40,000 budget. This affects performers’ pay, the Director’s pay and the organization’s continuing viability.
We invite you to join us as one of forty Tsunami Angels by contributing $100 or more. Raising $4,000 now will allow all Tsunami 2009 performers to be paid in full (so far they’ve received only a portion), and the organization to continue on to Tsunami 2010.

Some Tsunami Angels have already made their pledges – please join them now as a special friend of Tsunami on the Square and help to guarantee its future.
Thank you! Please forward this appeal to interested friends.

Neil Simon’s plays enjoy great success on professional, academic and community stages across the world, but it is this play that centered Neil Simon in the minds of critics and scholars as a serious playwright. It is his combination of meaningful humor and introspective characterizations in the play that yielded Neil Simon numerous awards and newfound sophistication.
This first play of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy portrays the playwright as Eugene Jerome, a young teen in1937 living with his family in a crowded but hilarious lower middle-class Brooklyn household. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene narrates this bittersweet memoir evocatively capturing their lives where, as his father states,” if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t live here.” (May contain adult language and situations.)
