HI GANG!

I have been a member of WEST COAST ENSEMBLE, one of Los Angeles' most prestigious small theatres, for a number of years now. I have had the opportunity and privilege of performing in many wonderful productions, playing a wide-range of roles.

WCE is a company of professional actors, writers, directors and technicians working together to produce a full Mainstage Season and a parallel season?of smaller, challenging plays, as well as workshop productions. In addition to its productions, WCE provides development programs for musical and original theater works, as well as a conservatory of ongoing free classes in improvisation, movement, stage combat, acting and voice. To help encourage new actors, WCE offers a comprehensive Internship Program, as well as a variety of Master Classes. WCE fulfills its commitment to all areas of theater through it's Directors Lab and Playwright's Unit, giving emerging directors and playwrights the opportunity to develop their craft.

Along with continued accolades for its productions, WCE has won major awards including the Margaret Harford Award from the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle for Outstanding and Ongoing Contribution to Theater; the Hollywood Arts Council Charlie Award for Continuing Artistic Contribution to the Hollywood Community; and four Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, not to mention a myriad of awards for its productions and members' performances, including Dramalogue Awards, Backstage West Garland Awards, LA Weekly Awards, Robby Awards, and, of course, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards.

WELL...our theatre has lost its lease! The building we've been renting for the past 10 years was recently sold. WCE has just moved to a new space -- and needs YOUR help! We are converting a building in Hollywood into a new theatre. Current plans for the space include a variable seating 80-seat 1800 sq. ft. black box theater; a small proscenium-style 40-seat theater; a dressing room; a 300 sq. ft. shop; a 300 sq. ft. rehearsal room; an office for our artistic director, Les Hanson; and a 500 sq. ft. lobby.

Simply put -- WE NEED TO FUNDRAISE!

Here's your opportunity to help out a wonderful non-profit theatre, and get a keepsake that any "Danny Phantom" fan would appreciate!

When you send a tax-deductible donation to WEST COAST ENSEMBLE, you will receive the following "thank you" gifts:

• ANY DONATION (No donation is too small!): You will receive a personally signed letter from me -- printed on "Danny Phantom" stationery -- thanking you for your generosity.



• DONATIONS OF $25 OR MORE: In addition to a personally signed letter, you will also receive a copy of the 8x10 color invitation to the Cast & Crew screening of the DANNY PHANTOM episode "The Fright Before Christmas", personally autographed by me to whomever the donor wishes. This makes a very cool mini-poster!



• DONATIONS OF $50 OR MORE: In addition to a personally signed letter and the autographed "Fright Before Christmas" invitation, you will also receive a personally autographed 5x7 composite photo of "me and my animated character pals" (Danny Phantom, Aldrin Pesky from "The Buzz on Maggie", Jimmy Olsen from "Superman: The Animated Series", Marty McFly from "Back to the Future: The Animated Series" and Dexter Douglas from "Freakazoid"). This photo was designed by me and can be autographed to whomever the donor wishes.|
