same thing...quoted from a theater news site:
The future of Shakespeare Santa Cruz, the professional theatre company in residence at the University of California,
Santa Cruz, is in jeopardy following several money-losing seasons and facing an economic downturn.
Leaders of the 27-year-old organization announced on Dec. 14 that they are desperately seeking support by Dec. 22 or its doors will close.
"In addition to its regular annual campaign, SSC must raise $300,000 by noon on Monday, Dec. 22," according to the announcement. "Should SSC not succeed, the organization will be required to go dark for 2009, and therefore permanently."
Shakespeare Santa Cruz (SSC) managing director Marcus Cato is projecting a $500,000 loss for 2008, primarily due to shortfalls in ticket sales and contributions.
