>>Dear Charles:
>>
>>My name is Stacy and I work for TMG - <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 
>>ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />The Marketing 
>>Group.  TMG is a full-service marketing firm catering to the 
>>Broadway and performing arts community.  TMG currently represents 
>>numerous productions and theatres across the country including 
>>Mamma Mia!, Wicked and Speaker Series at the Music Center.
>>
>>I write to you as the Music Center Speaker Series continues its 
>>2007 Series with our May speaker author, screenwriter, and 
>>playwright Joan Didion who will speak on Monday, May 7th at 8pm at 
>>the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.  The Music Center is 
>>offering a student ticket price of $25.
>>
>>
>>Joan Didion won the National Book Award for The Year of Magical 
>>Thinking in 2005, which she later adapted for Broadway in 2007 and 
>>received rave reviews.  A novelist, essayist and non-fiction writer 
>>she has authored 13 books, and she and her late husband John 
>>Gregory Dunne co-authored a number of noted screenplays. She is a 
>>contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New Yorker. 
>>Throughout her career she has received many awards, and in 2005 
>>received the Gold Medal for Belles Letters from the American 
>>Academy of Arts and Letters, which is the highest honor the Academy 
>>awards to a writer and is given once every six years.
>>
>>
>>I believe that Joan Didion will be of special interest to your 
>>English students because of her extensive resume of writing 
>>credits.  Does the English department have a student listserv?  If 
>>so, I can send you the discount information that may be distributed 
>>by you to your students.  Please let me know.
>>
>>Thank you for your help and kindness!
>>
>>Best,
>>Stacy
