GREEK NATIONAL THEATRE MUSEUM

[Don Rubin]

Dear Candrama Members:

I just received this from a close colleague in Athens. The Greek 
government is planning to close the national theatre museum there to 
save money. She has indicated that a strong protest might save the 
museum. I urge you to sign their petition.

Many thanks.

TO THEATRE WORKERS WORLDWIDE:

DUE TO EXTREMELY HARSH AUSTERITY MEASURES, THE PRESENT GREEK 
GOVERNMENT,  THE FINANCE MINISTER AND THE MINISTER OF CULTURE  HAVE 
DECIDED TO CLOSE THE GREEK THEATRE MUSEUM WHICH HOUSES NOT ONLY THE 
HISTORY OF THE GREEK THEATRE, BUT IRREPLACEABLE AND UNIQUE HISTORICAL 
DOCUMENTS -- THEATRE PROGRAMS, ARTIFACTS,
COSTUMES, PICTURES, TEXTS, ETC.THE THEATRE COMMUNITY IN GREECE AND 
WORLD-WIDE MUST NOT PERMIT THIS. PLEASE SHOW YOUR PERSONAL SUPPORT BY 
SIGNING THE PETITION ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE. IT APPEARS FIRST IN GREEK 
AND THEN IN ENGLISH.
THANK YOU.
