APPLICANT: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NEGRO WOMEN, INC.
INLAND EMPIRE SECTION
The National Council of Negro Women was awarded $5,800 in Fine Arts
Commission funds for the Fiscal Year 1993-94 . Two performances
were to have been presented in May, 1994. One of the performances,
"Bertram Miller plays Mozart, " is still scheduled as planned.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the purchase of two hundred seats
for the opening night of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Ladies" is
no longer possible, because of the cancellation of this production
by the Civic Light Opera. The NCNW has found a suitable substitute
for this performance and is requesting the Mayor and Common
Council 's approval for an amendment to the original funding
agreement.
The NCNW is not requesting additional funding. They are asking to
be allowed to use the funds previously awarded for "Sophisticated
Ladies" to pay for the costs associated with the substitute
performance.
The substitute performance will be a one woman show titled "Spirit
Awakening. " Written, directed and performed by Princess Akuyoe of
Ghana, it traces her aristocratic beginnings, education in England,
schooling in Harlem, and her ultimate celebration of self. "Spirit
Awakening" is scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 1994 , at the Sturges
Center for the Fine Arts at 8: 00 P.M. -
The Fine Arts Commission voted unanimously at the April 12 , 1994
regular meeting to approve this substitution and forward the
request to the Mayor and Common Council.
