Dear Sorority & Fraternity Member,
1 he West Las Vegas Arts Center invites you to “Halley’s Comet” starring Emmy Award-
Nominee John Amos, best known for his portrayal as Kunta Kin to in Alex Halley’s
“Roots’’ and the lovable but hard-nosed father James Evans on the television series Good
Times. “Halley’s Comet,” also written and directed by Mr. Amos, is destined to become a
classic.
John Amos will perform “Hailey’s Comet” on February 28 and March 1, 1997 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $15 general admission.
“Halley’s Comet” has received an impressive response from the various arts agencies. The
production is co-sponsored with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District with
additional funding from the Nevada Humanities Committee, Citi-Bank, the Greenspun
Family Foundation, Clark County District Courts, and the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino.
We are also pleased to share with you that Mr. Amos is also scheduled to conduct a
symposium with our community youth in the middle schools as a special outreach activity.
Your participation in our advance ticket sales promotion will help us secure a successful
event. We would appreciate your efforts in selling a block of at least 10 tickets. By advance
arrangements, a group discount of 15% for 20 or more persons is available. An
acknowledgement of your patronage will be included in the John Amos “Halley’s Comet'W
