The Negro Ensemble Company Inc.

I am very proud to announce that the Negro Ensemble Company has been selected to present five performances of "A Soldier's Play" (June 26-30, 1984) at the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles. These performances of Charles Fuller's Pulitzer Prize winning drama will mark both the second appearance of the Negro Ensemble Company at an Olympic Arts Festival and the end of the first year of the NEC's national tour of "A Soldier's Play." By next June, the play, which opened in Chicago in June 1983, will have visited 16 major cities in the United States. It is estimated by the end of the tour more than 250,000 people will have witnessed this remarkable drama.

Sincerely,
Basil Paterson
