THEATRE ALIVE
LOOKS TO
FOUNDATION

Theatre Alive, the Terrace
non-profit group dedicated to
improving the quality of perform-
ances and technical equipment at
the R.E.M. Lee Theatre, is looking
for a place to sink its money, and
right now they think the
Vancouver Foundation may be a
good bet.

At the January meeting of the
board of School District 88, which

owns the theatre, Theatre Alive
representative Tom Walker, who
is also the manager of the R.E.M.
Lee, told the board his group has
accumulated $30,000. "It was a
long fight, and we want to do
something significant with it,” he
said.

Walker said the Vancouver
Foundation, a well-established
support agency for performing
and fine arts in B.C., could he
used to manage the money, pro-
viding an annual return on it.
Although Theatre Alive hasn’t yet
made a decision, that type of
program seems more attractive
than spending the $30,000 on a
one-shot improvement for the
theatre.

The foundation allows $10,000
to be invested in the first year
and $25,000 in each ‘of the subse-
quent three years, The foundation
can be challenged to match those
investments, Walker said, and it
usually succeeds, If Theatre Alive
can continue raising money to
meet that investment schedule, he
said, it could wind up with a
