ArtsWest Receives Boeing Grant, Puts It Towards MEASURE FOR PLEASURE

By: Oct. 13, 2009

ArtsWest announced today that they have been awarded a grant from Boeing Charitable Trust. The $15,000 grant will go toward Measure for Pleasure, ArtsWest's next theater production.

"This grant is the largest we've ever received from Boeing," said KayLee Jaech, ArtsWest's development director, "Having their increased support in these difficult financial times is a huge vote of confidence."

A deliciously naughty Restoration-romp-meets-modern-sex-farce, MEASURE FOR PLEASURE chases rakes, romantics, and transvestite tarts through mistaken identities, duels, and double-dealings galore on their way to learning that, whatever else it may be, love is rarely pure and never simple.

MEASURE FOR PLEASURE is made possible in part by ArtsFund and Boeing and Season Sponsor Personal Safety Nets.

About ArtsWest: ArtsWest produces artistic events so fiercely compelling that they require conversation, improve the imagination, and promote cultural vibrancy as a core value for the communities of West Seattle. Utilizing a 149-seat, 3/4 thrust theater and visual art gallery, ArtsWest has presented over 550 different performing arts productions and gallery exhibitions to over 225,000 visitors since 1999.
