By: Allyn Grantsdale May 31, 2008

ORTING - After four years as Artistic Director of Espresso Drama, L. William King decided it was past time to write a letter. Speciffically a letter of introduction. ''Even after four years people and businesses would ask me about Espresso Drama, the Opportunity Center Of Orting, and myself. Explaining the first two was easy. The last a bit harder.'' King says with a laugh.

So King wrote the letter. ''Actually it is printed. HAND printed as I do not type.'' Onced xeroxed, he proceeded to deliver the letter to area businesses as well as city hall, police dept., fire dept., library staff, etc. ''I just figured I would blanket everyone.''

In addition he also added a thank you to businesses who have supplied door prizes in the past. Businesses who have posted audition and performance notices also received thanks. ''Every business should have received a letter. I know because I hand delivered each one.'' notes King. In the event you as a business owner and/or manager did not see your letter, please contact L. William King. He can be reached by email at espressodrama@hotmail.com or phone (253) 359-4980. ''I really would like each owner/manager to have the opportunity to read their letter.'' says King. Letters were delivered between May 22nd and May 30th.
