Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement'Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002, and 690003. BACKGROUND: The Police Department supports the efforts of community groups attacking such critical issues as substance abuse, crime, prejudice, and many others. The Coconut Grove Playhouse is the largest regional theater in the State of Florida and maintains a continuous commitment to our community. Over the past several years, this institution has demonstrated its commitment to educational programs relating to theater and its influence on young people. The Playhouse, in conjunction with the City of Miami and the Miami Police Department, has been able to successfully develop and produce quality in -school programs for Miami's middle and senior high students. The Playhouse will for its 2000 In -School Touring Program target the topic of guns, violence and the consequences of one's actions by presenting Bang, Bang You're Dead by William Mastrosimone. Bang, Bang You're Dead is a play about a 15 year old who is imprisoned for killing seven young people. While in his cell, he is confronted by each of his victims and his feeling of bravado, guilt and regret are explored. Certainly the topic of this play is very relevant in light of recent events throughout America. Post performance discussions directed by teachers and trust counselors will be held. Funding of this play will provide more than 60,000 students with a theatrical experience while using theater as a tool to positively effect change in their lives. w" DHW:WEO:ll CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM C TO: Donald H.
