FROM THE AMBASSADOR |

As their Patrons, my wife and I are delighted to have this opportunity warmly to congratulate the British Embassy Players on their Silver Jubilee. Since the Players were first formed as a small group 25 years ago, many boards have been trodden, words spoken and songs sung, and the Players now enjoy a considerable reputation in the Washington area and beyond. They can be justly proud of the goodwill which they have generated in the course of over 100 shows, ranging from one-night presentations to the full twelve night run of the Music Hall. They have sponsored the Ruby Griffith Award Competition to foster excellence in amateur theatre. And their success has enabled them to donate over a quarter of a million dollars to British and American Charities. As a result of all these activities, they have continued to contribute to the strengthening of the close ties between Britain and the United States, and I am sure that they will go on doing so in the future. We wish them every continued success in all their endeavours for the next twenty-five years and beyond. |
