Prompt
The following appeared in an e-mail sent by the marketing director of the Classical Shakespeare Theatre of Bardville.
"Over the past ten years, there has been a 20 percent decline in the size of the average audience at Classical Shakespeare Theatre productions. In spite of increased advertising, we are attracting fewer and fewer people to our shows, causing our profits to decrease significantly. We must take action to attract new audience members. The best way to do so is by instituting a 'Shakespeare in the Park' program this summer. Two years ago the nearby Avon Repertory Company started a 'Free Plays in the Park' program, and its profits have increased 10 percent since then. Therefore, I recommend that we start a 'Shakespeare in the Park' program of our own. If we do so, I predict that our profits will also see a significant increase."
Essay
In the e-mail, the marketing director of the Classical Shakespeare Theatre of Bardville recommends holding a 'Shakespeare in the Park' program to increase the theater's profits. However, the director's argument's reliance on three unwarranted assumptions weakens its viability.
To begin with, the director believes that the decrease in the audience is the major problem causing the decrease in Classical Shakespeare Theatre's profits. The director mentions the 20 percent decline in the average audience size over the past ten years. Of course, with the decline in audience, the theater's incomes made by selling tickets will fall consequently. However, a theater's income may consist of other things, such as patrons from companies whose advertisement is involved in the theater's productions. If this part contributed most to the theater's profits and had dropped more seriously than the audience size, the director couldn't assert that the profits would increase significantly by attracting more audience.
Second of all, the director assumes that people would enjoy Classical Shakespeare Theatre's performances as much as Avon Repertory Company's. The director uses the success of Avon Repertory Company's 'Free Plays in the Park' program as supporting evidence. However, he or she doesn't mention the similarities between their productions. It is possible that the productions of these two companies are of totally different genres, lengths, themes, and other characters. In that case, the director cannot assert that they can duplicate the success of Avon Repertory Company's program since people may have less interest in their productions than Avon Repertory Company's.
Moreover, the director thinks that the major problem of Classical Shakespeare Theatre's production is the way the theater attracts its audience, not its production's content or other factors. The director suggests that a performance in a park is an efficient way to attract the audience. However, this is on the grounds that the performance itself is attractive enough. The reason why the size of the theater's average audience has decreased may be simply because people nowadays are no longer interested in their productions. In that case, the performance wouldn't have a sufficient audience whatever its location is.
In conclusion, the marketing director fails to give a convincing argument. Unless the director attaches more information on their profits' composition, details about Avon Repertory Company's productions, and whether their productions are still attractive enough, his or her recommendation doesn't hold water.

This was a very well-written analysis. I just rearranged/reworded your points and cleaned it up a bit. One recommendation is to get a little more familiar with transitional words and there placement. Other than that you did great!
