Performing Arts Center:

Our readers wrote letters throughout 198 7 expressing their viewpoints on a variety of issues. Here are condensed versions of some of those letters. We appreciate their taking the time to share their viewpoints and look forward to hearing from you in 1988.

We went to see Big River at the Performing Arts Center. It is deplorable that half the seats were unoccupied.

Why not give those empty seats to senior citizens, who deserve a break living on social security.

Or a drama teacher would value having ticketd for students so that they could better learn their craft and thus benefit us all one day.

And wouldn’t the performers rather play to a full house?

What a waste.
