    The Tasmanian government cut all funding to the Tasmanian Theatre Company for 2012, putting the future of the state's only professional theatre company at risk. Supporters are organizing a letter writing campaign to lobby the government to restore funding. The document provides instructions for writing letters to newspaper editors and the Premier over a two week period based on the starting letter of one's surname, with the goal of mounting steady public pressure to reinstate funding and keep Tasmania as the only state in Australia with a full-time professional theatre company.

    TASMANIA FIGHTS TO KEEP ITS PROFESSIONAL THEATRE COMPANY

    www.themercury.com.au/article/2011/08/31/257651_tasmania-news.html
    Dear Friend of TTC You may have heard the news by now that the Tasmanian Government has cut all funding to the Tasmanian Theatre Company for 2012. This came as a complete shock to the Board and staff as the TTC has been going from strength to strength in the last couple of years with audience numbers growing and an expanding artistic program. If we are to influence the government a huge display of public support is critical. We need to flood the Mercury, Lara Giddings office and the ABC website and Facebook page with supportive letters etc. The message is simple - we want a professional theatre company - we do not want to be the only state in Australia without a full time professional theatre company. We want to be tactical and ensure a steady flow of correspondence, comments etc We are asking for your help to keep our professional theatre company This is what you can do: 1. Write letters to the editors of the Mercury www.themercury.com.au/opinion/letter-to-the-editor-submit.html, the Examiner www.examiner.com.au/content/writetous/ and the Advocate www.theadvocate.com.au/content/letterstotheeditor/ 2. Send a copy of those letters to the Premier lara.giddings@dpac.tas.gov.au 3. Send a message to ABC Radio through email www.abc.net.au/hobart/contact and Facebook www.facebook.com/936abchobart 4. Get all your friends to do the same.

    We want this campaign to run for a couple of weeks at least so rather than everyone emailing etc today lets do it in shifts: If your surname starts with A B C D or E - do it NOW If your surname starts with F G H or I do it this Friday or Saturday (2nd & 3rd September) If your surname starts with J K L or M do it on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week (5th, 6th & 7th September) If your surname starts with N O P or Q do it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday next week (8th, 9th & 10th September) If your surname starts with R or S do it on Monday or Tuesday the following week (12th & 13th September) If your surname starts with T U V W X Y or Z do it on Wednesday , Thursday or Friday the following week (14th, 15th & 16th September)

    MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDAR, PUT A REMINDER IN YOUR PHONE - DON'T FORGET - WE ONLY GET ONE SHOT AT THIS. - OF COURSE IF THIS TIMEFRAME DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU THEN SEND YOUR EMAIL WHENEVER YOU CAN.
    FINALLY - Thank You Thank You Thank You
