*** Special Announcement ***

Practicing Democracy's Legislative Report is Ready!

Official Presentation to Vancouver City Council
May 6th, 2004 at 2:00 pm in the Council Chambers
of the City Hall

453 West 12th Avenue


The innovative solutions to the danger created by years of cuts to social
services offered by audience members that attended Practicing Democracy,
have been gathered in a Legislative Report by Legal Expert Carrie Gallant.

We have forwarded the report to Vancouver City Council and we are please to
invite you to its official presentation Thursday, May 6th at 2:00 in the
Council Chambers. Council meetings are open to the public. We appeal to your
continued participation in this historic event, since it's the first time in
North America that a governing body is taking citizen's input through such
an innovative format.

Your attendance at the Legislative Report presentation will show City
Council the fundamentally democratic nature of this Legislative Theatre
experiment.

You are welcome to access the complete report on our website:
www.headlinestheatre.com

See you there!
