It is operated from a budget included in the general funds of the City's budget. This budget helps support the Youth Center and Adult Center, as well as provide for the parks system, recreation programs and the operations of the City Swimming Pool. The objectives are: - 1) To maintain a long range plan for the development of an adequate parks and recreation program which will meet the demands and needs of the community. 2) To anticipate and formulate recreation programs of interest to the community thus providing areas for families to play together and to enjoy their leisure time. 3) To coordinate the activities of parks and recreation • with other agencies bidding for their time and resources. 4) To seek adequate financing for park and recreation programs. The Department feels the need to provide a wider range of recreation from basically sports into the martial arts such as Children's Theatre. In the spring and fall of 1982, the Department offered pilot classes in beginning and advanced acting classes for children. They were very pleased with the interest and support of the community, and would like to continue their services. 9.04 FAYETTEVILLF, ARKANSAS P. 0. DRAWER F ATTACHMENT 42 • 72701 - (501) 521.7700 13. The goals of this project is to develop a Theatre Program for Children that will give them not only the opportunity to perform, but also to see children's theatre. A good children's theatre is an integral part of every well-rounded Parks and Recreation program in the United States. There is value in the creativity, emotional and physical development of the child in theatre. Currently there are no children's theatre programs in Northwest. Arkansas. We feel obligated as the Parks and Recreation Department to provide such a service to the youth. In the past, we have basically met recreational need through providing sporting events and our parks system, but we feel there is a demand to expand our recreational prusuit into children's theatre. Sports allow for the emotional and physical development of the youth, but drama assist in the development of the youth's creativity plus the emotional and physical development. The community has expressed an extreme interest and support for such a program. The University of Arkansas Drama Department also feel this need and are willing to assist in providing a Graduate Assistantship to conduct the children's classes under their supervision and to grant tuition remission to the graduate student. In the spring of 1982, we offered as a pilot study a class in children's theatre. Dr. Pat Romanov from the University of Arkansas Drama Department was the instructor. To defray the cost of the class, a fee was charged to cover the instructor's salary and supplies for the class. There were twelve participants in the class ranging from grades three to seven. A local church let the Parks Department use their fellowship hall which included a stage with no charge due to the scope of the youth program. The City of Fayetteville Board of Directors agreed to pay the University of Arkansas for a Graduate Assistantship to instruct the children's theatre classes in the fall of 1982. A small participation fee was charged again to help pay for supplies, printing, publicity, etc for the classes. There was a total of eighteen participants ranging from grades one through eight. Enrollment was as follows: 9 beginners; 9 advanced; and there was an insufficient number of children enrolled to conduct a puppetry class. The University also assigned a student to do their field work in assisting the graduate student with the classes. The advanced acting class FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS P. O. DRAWER F ATTACHMENT /2 (Continued) 13. 72701 (501) 521-7700 presented a production to the public at the Northwest Arkansas Mall, the New School, and at the University. There were approximately one hundred in the audience at the Mall and seventy at the New School. The scenery for the play was built in the University Scene Shop with the assistance of the shop foreman, tools, and supplies. The Parks and Recreation Department is very pleased with the quality and interest in their program and feel the need to continue their services in children's theatre. It has succeeded exceptionally well working inconjunction with the University of Arkansas Drama Department for all their support, services and expertise. Dr. Pat Romanov has been very benefical in supervising and consulting the children's program. The Department feels that we are offering a very inexpensive quality program that is made possible through the support of the University and the public. Enclosed you will find brochures that describe the classes offered. A new session will be starting in February offering two beginning acting classes and one advanced. The Parks and Recreation Department is asking the Arkansas Arts Council to help fund a Children's Theatre Program for three sessions starting in the fall of 1983, spring of 1984 and summer of 1984. Classes offered will be beginners, advanced, and possibly an advanced beginners acting class and puppetry. Participants will again pay a small participant fee to help defray the cost of the program. In the future, we hope to expand our ages from grades one through junior high to include the senior high students. lj Budget Form Review instructions carefully before completing this form. PAGE 13 I.
