Call Script

Hello, my name is YOUR NAME and I live in your district. I’m calling to encourage Council-member YOUR COUNCILPERSON’S LAST NAME to support the “City Spaces” legislation, authored by members Kallos, Van Bramer, Cumbo, and Rosenthal. 

I work in the independent theatre, and finding affordable space in which to work only gets harder every year—rehearsal and performance spaces have been closing rapidly, and prices for those that remain only seem to go up. The “City Spaces” legislation will not only allow artists like myself to find and use more affordable space, it will also give life to currently empty, unused spaces while bringing increased artistic vitality to all areas of the city.

The arts are vital to New York, and I love being a part of the community keeping theatre in our city alive. This bill is a simple way to give a huge boost to the independent theatre world. I encourage the Council-member to sign on as a co-sponsor of the bill.

Thank you for your time!
