Why should the business community support BUCKY!

• This play is about important concepts critical to our understanding of the universe and how it works - these are big ideas with everyday practical applications.

• The production is an original, fascinating model for how art, science and business can collab- orate and enrich each other.  This production shows that we are not separate but connected travelers on "spaceship Earth" and that crossing over between disciplines is the only way to keep our planet viable.  Hearing actors thrilling an audience and then stepping into the lobby to see your sponsor's logo, is a very happy unit of art and commerce.

• Plays that deal with substantive thought need financial support in order to reach a broader audience and to generate the kind of dialogue that improves the quality of life on our planet.  BUCKY is such a production.

• In the twenty-first century no city is likely to be a center of national commerce, let alone a center of international commerce, that is not also a center for the Arts.

• Government resources are stretched just to fight crime, pave streets, and teach math. Corpora -tions and individuals who wish to make a difference must join together to support the Arts.

• "You are not a successful business unless you give back to the community, to assure that it grows and prospers."  - Ted Lyman, Senior Vice President with the Economic Strategy Group of ICF Kaiser.  Quoted in  "Next Century Economy - Sustaining the Austin Region's  Economic Advantage in the 21st Century.
