Last week, I had two brushes with my life before Jacksonville. First, I overheard a couple in the lobby at the Rodrigo y Gabriela show saying that the Florida Theatre reminded them of the Keswick Theatre in Philadelphia. Then just three days later, at the Dave Koz show, one of our donors mentioned that they were looking forward to Chris Botti on April 13, and the last place they saw him was, “A cute little hole in the wall in Easton, Pennsylvania,” which I correctly identified on the first guess as the State Theatre.

During my pre-Jacksonville life, I was the President of a regional performing arts center coalition covering the Mid-Atlantic States. I attended many meetings at both the Keswick and State Theatres. They’re amazing places. The Keswick dates from

1928. Although it sits just across the city line in Glenside, PA, it is one of Philadelphia’s key venues. It was “saved” by a private partnership that included my friend Roy Snyder, whose piece of the effort was sweat equity, managing and booking the theatre. Roy just recently passed away.

The State Theatre in Easton dates from 1910, with a significant 1926 expansion. It is not just a “hole in the wall.” It is a magnificent venue, managed and programmed by a more traditional nonprofit corporation, and its Executive Director since 1991 or 1992 is my friend Shelly Brown, who has built the venue’s reputation as a place where everything sells.

I mention these conversations because they’re terrific examples of the larger historic theatre community that the Florida Theatre belongs to. All across America, audiences have bonded with their historic theatres because of the acoustics, the historic architectural detail, and the diversity of entertainment they offer. Simply, they are the best places to see a show.

I’m realistic, though. You might still have to go to the arena for specific shows. It’s not impossible, but it’s unlikely that Paul McCartney is going to wake up tomorrow, call his manager, and say, “Let’s skip the big paydays in the 10,000 seaters and do a run of Florida’s historic theatres!”

However, any town can build an arena, but not everybody has a theatre like this, and I can’t imagine seeing Diana Krall (Feb. 7), Gordon Lightfoot (Feb. 18) or Paula Poundstone (Feb. 16) in an arena. They demand intimacy, and of course the dance companies and theatrical artists like Mummenschanz (April 21) require an actual theatre, and we’re lucky to have the Florida Theatre. For audiences that love live entertainment, the Florida Theatre is north Florida’s most authentic and intimate venue showcasing terrific artists, and we’re delighted you joined us tonight.

When the Florida Theatre originally opened to the public on April 8, 1927, it was downtown Jacksonville’s fifteenth, and largest, theatre. Today, it is the last remaining historic theatre on the north bank of downtown, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the city’s last remaining example of 1920s fantasy architecture.

The elaborate interior was designed by R.E. Hall of New York and Jacksonville architect Roy Benjamin. Their design displays many characteristics of the Mediterranean Revival, one of the most prominent architectural styles associated with Florida’s building boom of the 1920s. The architects envisioned a Moorish courtyard at night, resplendent with glittering stars, grand balconies, and fountains. The ornate proscenium arch that frames the stage reaches nearly six stories high, dominating the auditorium and contributing to the venue’s excellent acoustics. An open-air roof garden in the 1920s provided a venue for dancing under the stars, and a nursery was available for patrons’ young children. The building’s then-modern features included central heating, central air-conditioning and a central vacuuming system.

Like many theatres of its day, the Florida Theatre was designed for both stage shows and motion pictures and a typical program included six elements: a news reel, a comedy short, a cartoon or travelogue, an overture by the band on a moveable orchestra pit (still in use today), a live stage presentation, and the feature film. Creative marketing through the decades included “Screeno,” a bingo game played on the movie screen; “Bank Night,” which gave ticket buyers a chance to win cash prizes; and, in the late 1960s, rocking chairs.

Live performances have always been a hallmark of the Theatre’s schedule, and one of the most memorable occurred in 1956, when Elvis Presley came to the Florida Theatre. Presley, the City of Jacksonville, and the Florida Theatre found themselves subjects of a LIFE magazine feature when Juvenile Court Judge Marion Gooding sat through the performance to ensure that Presley’s body movements would not become too suggestive.

By the late 1970s, however, the Theatre was only marginally profitable. By May 8, 1980, when the building closed, martial arts movies were the bulk of the schedule. In 1981, with financial support from the State of Florida, the City of Jacksonville, and the private sector, the Arts Assembly of Jacksonville (now the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville) acquired the Theatre to preserve it for cultural uses. A $4.1 million capital campaign resulted in the building’s restoration and renovation. The 1,900-seat Theatre reopened on October 1, 1983, with a Gala Variety Show featuring Some Like It Cole, a Cole Porter review; the Symphony String Quartet; and Grammy Award winning fiddle player Vassar Clements, who closed the evening with “Orange Blossom Special.”

On October 1, 1987, the City of Jacksonville acquired the building. The Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center, Inc. was founded as a nonprofit corporation to manage, program, and preserve the building. Thousands of performances and millions of audience members later, the Florida Theatre is still, “One of the unique assets that makes Jacksonville, Jacksonville.”

INSIDE THE OPERATIONS OF THE FLORIDA THEATRE

The Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and founded in 1987 for the express purpose of managing, programming, and preserving the historic Florida Theatre on behalf of the City of Jacksonville, which owns the building.

The 501(c)(3) tax designation indicates that the corporation’s purpose is to provide a community service. It can accept tax deductible contributions. All funds generated by the corporation must remain within the corporation to pay regular operating costs or be reinvested in new programming or capital improvements. Any surplus funds cannot be retained by an individual or other entity. The organization holds its assets in trust for the community.

There are no owners or shareholders. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of civic and community leaders who receive no compensation for their efforts. Operations are conducted by a paid professional staff according to the policies and direction established by the Board in the Bylaws and Mission Statement of the nonprofit. The results of the nonprofit’s operations are a matter of public record. Copies of its annual filings with the state and federal government are available on request from the Florida Theatre itself, from the appropriate government agency, or from numerous web-based watchdog organizations.

The mission of the Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center, Inc., as a nonprofit organization, is to enhance the North Florida community's quality of life by providing diverse and memorable arts and entertainment experiences, and by preserving a unique historic Jacksonville landmark.

Each year the Theatre hosts between 150 and 200 public events, attended by between 150,000 and 200,000 people . Some of these events are presented by the Theatre, either by itself, or in cooperation with another organization. Other events are presented or produced by outside organizations renting the Theatre. In the case of a rental production, the Theatre is simply a venue for hire, earning a rental fee and being reimbursed for its other costs.

In the case of a performance presented by the Florida Theatre, the Theatre has determined that presenting a particular program or artist is consistent with its mission. The Theatre takes the financial risk by guaranteeing the performer their fee and agreeing to cover all other costs of marketing and staging a show. If there is a financial surplus after costs have been covered, the Theatre retains those funds. If there is a loss, the Theatre must cover it from other sources.

On an annual basis, about 65% of the Theatre’s income is derived from ticket sales, 20% from other business operations, and 15% from fundraising. The Florida Theatre receives support from the City of Jacksonville’s Cultural Service Grant Program, a competitive annual grant program administered by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville and the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs. This support is just 4% of the theatre’s annual budget. Additional support from our individual and corporate Friends of the Florida Theatre is critical to the organization’s success each year.
