A Fair Greensboro Performing Arts Center Survey

Perhaps you saw the recent push poll designed by the Greensboro Performing Arts Center Task Force? If not, you may view it by clicking here.

If someone would like to pay the $17.oo a month fee to make all the results public I will happily do so. If not you'll just have to trust that I will honestly transcribe your answers even if I don't agree.
