To transmit a letter from the Garden Grove High School Choir Director, Kari Galeener, requesting co-sponsorship of the Garden Grove High School Annual Pop’s Concert, June 7-9, 2017. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
At present, the Garden Grove Unified School District’s Don Wash Auditorium is closed to all school performances due to the District’s re-modernization project.

Contractually, the City is permitted three "free" rentals of the Amphitheater during the Shakespeare OC’s season. The City’s use of the facility does not include "front of house” costs, such as sound, lighting, management or janitorial services, those costs would have to be paid to Shakespeare OC by Garden Grove High School. The value of the City’s co-sponsorship is approximately $1,500; the nights of June 7-9, are available and have been reserved through Shakespeare OC. |
