OVAT I O N JULY 2022
WELCOME LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hello Friends and Neighbors, The Florida Theatre is comprised of 4 elements. There is the historic theatre itself, and then there are 3 groups of people. Group 1 are the people who work here. Group 2 are the performers who perform here, and Group 3 are you, the audience. Group 1 has a pretty simple job: to convince Group 2 to get on a plane or a bus and travel to Jacksonville to perform for you, Group 3. If Group 1 is not here, then the rest of the equation falls apart. The people who work here, are an extraordinary group of people. They are trained in strange and unique careers. They come to work every day with the best interests of the Florida Theatre and the Jacksonville community in their hearts. No matter how early you get here in the morning, someone is always here before you. No mater how late you stay, someone is always working later. They literally work from dawn until almost dawn again to book shows, sell the tickets, and load the shows in and out. We’re now experiencing a post-pandemic surge of shows, and are on track to have the most shows and the best attendance in 25 years. That’s possible because Group 1 is still here. They’re still here because of private support and public support from all levels of government, from both sides of the aisle, received during the pandemic. As a community, we are better because of that, and we thank you all. Now, here are some shows you should come see this month. Think of these as little 2-3 hour vacations, without having to go anywhere.

INSIDE THE OPERATIONS OF THE FLORIDA THE ATRE 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.
HISTORY
OF THE FLORIDA THE ATRE
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.”
