I frequently get asked, “How do you get such great artists to come to the Florida Theatre?” Many people assume we are just a venue, and when performers randomly decide to come to Jacksonville, we just get a piece of the ticket sales. The reality is more complicated, but here is one truism: it doesn’t happen by accident. We put a lot of purposeful work into making these shows happen. It typically starts with a conversation between an artist’s representative, usually an agent at a talent agency, and our Program Director, Kevin Stone. Sometimes we call them to

inquire about a specific artist’s availability. Sometimes they call us with a specific opportunity. “I have Artist X in Atlanta on Monday, and Orlando on Wednesday. Would you take Tuesday night?” Assuming we have the date, we look at the artist’s fee, and our own expenses to open and staff the building, advertise the show, and sell the tickets. Then we determine the ticket prices we think the market will bear, and ask ourselves if we think enough people will buy tickets at those ticket prices that the theatre has a reasonable chance of recouping its money. If the answer is yes, we make a formal offer in writing, and if they accept, we do the show. If the answer is no, we don’t make an offer. Surprisingly, we say no a lot. It’s not widely understood, but when we promote a show, the theatre is 100% at risk. If we didn’t sell one ticket, we still have to pay for everything. We need to have a good batting average, and we do. More than 70% of our shows last year showed a profit. These conversations can be quick, and we might actually have a show in a matter of weeks, or they can go on for years until the pieces finally fall in place. But here’s the best thing: when it all works, and when there’s a financial surplus, because we are a nonprofit corporation, that surplus gets plowed back into the company for more programming. When the theatre wins, you the audience win too! Thanks for coming tonight,

Numa C. SaisselinPresident

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 of 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 corporation. The results of the corporation’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 100 and 200 public events, attended by between 100,000 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 55% of the Theatre’s income is derived from ticket sales, 25% from other business operations, and 20% 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. This support is less than 7% 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.
