EinhornRespondent's Organization Friends of the Elks Theatre was founded and incorporated in 2003 as the Greater Middletown Economic Development Corporation (‘MEDC’), a Pennsylvania nonproft ‘corporation. The entity was granted 601(c)(3) status by the internal Revenue Service in 2005. It was originally formed to administer the Borough of Middletown's Main Street Program, a 5-year grant program under the Pennsylvania Department of Community ‘and Economic Development. As part of the Main Street Program, it acquired the Elks building, which included the Eks Theatre. When the Main Street Grant Program ended, the Elks Theatre became the sole focus of the organization and from January 2013 through April 2015 it operated the Eiks Theatre on a not-for-profit basis. In recognition of the fact that the entiy’s focus has evolved and shifted from general community economic development to preservation and improvement of the Elks ‘Theatre, its the organization's intention to formally change its name to Friends of the Eiks Theatre, Inc. In addition, the membership of the Board of Directors is undergoing ‘substantial change. The current Board includes Chairman Jack Raudenbush, Gordon A. Einhorn, Esquire, Andrea Kams (Karns Market) and Michael Dalton. In addition, Carol upp of Kuppy’s Diner has agreed to join the Board. Several additional seats are in the process of being filed and it fs proposed that one such seat be taken by a member of the MICDA or Borough Council, For purposes of this proposal, Jack Raudenbush and Gordon A. Einhon are ‘authorized to negotiate on the entity's behalf. Their contact information is as follows: Jack Raudenbush 29'S. Union St (717) 944-0883 Gordon A. Einhom ‘Thomas, Thomas and Hafer 306 N. Front St. Harrisburg, Pa. 17101 (717) 441-7054 (717) 576-3569 (cel)Respondent's Qualifications The Board of Directors of Friends of the Elks Theatre is intimately familiar with the operational requirements of a movie theatre. This experience was initially gained from 2005 through 2012 in its capacity as landlord for the last theatre tenant, Ross Seltzer. In January 2013, Friends of the Elks took over the operation of the theatre and did so until April 2015. Through several years of hands on experience in the operation Of the theatre, Friends of the Elks has expertise in all facets of theatre operations including programming, staffing, concessions, special event planning and marketing. ‘The organization continues to have contracts in place with all major fl studios for the ‘exhibition of films and has an existing relationship with a booking agent through which individual fime are scheduled. While operating the theatre, Friends of the Eiks amassed an address list of more than 500 theatre patrons to whom it sent weekly email notices of upcoming events and show times. This list is stil active and has been used to update theatre patrons on the progress of theatre renovations. In addition, Friends of the Elks has a Facebook page for the theatre, which has more than 1,200 followers. Friends of the Elks Theatre has a proven track record of fundraising capability for the theatre. In the past, thas obtained in excess of $300,000 in grant funds used to replace the theatre roof, repair deteriorated masonry on the exterior rear wall of the theatre and replace the teatre's outdated HVAC system. in addition, substantial corporate gifs were received from corporations such as Giant Foods ‘and Exelon Corporation,BESSEEEESSES555S5S33533555553535553333335533331 Project Narrative Friends of the Ekks Theatre proposes that the Elks Theatre be operated as a community-owned, multi-purpose theatre, under a 10-year lease to the Friends of the Eks Theatre, a ‘local, not-for-profit, volunteer-driven organization with a proven ‘commitment to the survival of the theatre. ‘The Elks Theatre is one of the few remaining small fown theatres in Pennsylvania that remains in operation. Over the past 25 years, hundreds of theatres across the country like the Elks have closed their doors, unable to keep up with changing technology and unable to compete with national theatre chains that operate numerous, multiscreen theatres. The reason Is simple economics. Single screen, small town theatres are simply not viable when operated on a for-profit basis. Some of those that remain are run as hobbies by private theatre owners who do it to preserve a bit of history and for their love of movies. These theatres will likely disappear when their owners retire However, some small towns have recognized the importance of the long-term preservation and continued operation of these theatres from the standpoint of historic preservation and community cohesion. They recognize that these theatres are a ‘community asset and should be treated as such. In these communities, non-profit ‘organizations have been formed to take on the operations of these local, historic theatres to assure their continued survival. Not-for-profit groups which operate theatres like the Colonial Ineatre in Phoenbwville, Pa. and the Campus Theatre in Lewisburg, Pa: keep these historic theatres operating through a combination of ticket sales, memberships, corporate and local business sponsorships and grant funding. It is this model which has been successfully used in other communities, that Friends of the Eks Theatre proposes to implement with regard to the Elks Theatre. Under this proposal, Friends of the Elks Theatre would enter into a ten year lease with the MICDA for the theatre portion of the building. A nominal rental payment ‘would be made on an annual basis. This would be similar to the arrangement that the non-profit which operates the Campus Theatre has with Bucknell University, the owner of the theatre, pursuant to which the non-profit leases the theatre for $7.00 a year. In liou of a market value rental payment, Friends of the Elks would commit to regular fund raising campaigns and events and the pursuit of grant funding, the proceeds of which would be used for maintenance and further improvements to the theatre. ‘This proposal also recognizes that as a community owned theatre, the Elks must be more than just a movie theatre, but must serve the community as a venue for ‘other events, With the proper modifications, the theatre will become a venue for ‘community theatre performances, dance recitals, concerts and other uses. ‘These modifications and improvements will raise the visibility of the theatre and contribute to its long term success. Like any community asset that has existed for generations, the theatre has sometimes been taken for granted. Its local audience often fvertooks it in favor of shopping center based multiplexes with more advanced 1projection technology and a more welcoming environment. However, this trend is reversible, Friends of the Elks proposes a set of upgrades and modifications to the theatre which will allow it to compete on a level playing field with newer theatres while at the same time maintaining and enhancing the historical features of the theatre which ‘make It unique and important to the community. The improvements to the theatre will ‘also include features which will allow it to expand its use beyond that of ust a movie theatre. Features such as a stage and sound and lighting systems will permit the theatre to be used for a vatiely of live events, including community theatre, concerts and comporate events. Move Theatre Operations Under this proposal, the Eks Theatre would remain first and foremost a movie theatre which would show a continuous schedule of primarily first-run movies. Feedback received from the community over the past year has made clear that the community prefers that the theatre remain primarily a movie theatre rather than a theatre used for live performances with fims being shown only on an occasional basis. In addition to frst-run films, the theatre will establish a schedule for showing of classic films and holiday-themed movies at the end of each year. Such programming has proven successful over the past several years and will be continued and expanded. ‘The schedule of films will also include a special children’s matinee on one Saturday of each month at which all tickets would be priced at $1 per person, These events wil be promoted as a “Thank you" to the community and wil help re-establish ‘with the public the concept of the Elks Theatre as Middletown's neighborhood theatre. Friends of the Elks Theatre also intends to establish an annual fim festival of the est student films from colleges and universities in the region. Invitations for submissions will be sent to the film departments at all colleges and universities within a 200-mile radius with the top submissions to be screened at the theatre during a ‘weekend-long event. This event will give young filmmakers a rare opportunity to screen thelr films in a real theatre with a big screen. Because the event will be unique in this area, it will generate positive publicity for the theatre and enhance its reputation. In addition, because itis anticipated that participating filmmakers from outside of the area will travel fo Middletown with friends and family, the event will be a driver of economic activity for local restaurants and other businesses in the downtown area. ‘New Uses for the Theatre At the present time, there Is no venue in the community capable of hosting certain types of live events. Over the last several years, Friends of the Elks has often been contacted by groups and individuals interested in'renting the theatre for theatre events, concerts, fashion shows and conferences. However, most of these inquiries, have had to be turned away due to the fact that the theatre lacks the faclities and ‘equipment to stage such events.Friends of the Elks has obtained pricing from a contractor and a designer of sound and lighting systems and determined that the modifications necessary to make ‘such events possible can be accomplished without making major changes to the interior of the theatre and within a reasonable budget. Under the proposed plan, the existing stage would be extended 8 feet into the theatre auditorium, This would be accomplished by eliminating the first two rows of the previously existing theatre seats. This extension of the stage, along with the installation of a retractable movie screen, would provide sufficient stage depth for the staging of live events, ‘The construction of the stage extension could be done at a cost of approximately $12,000, In addition, itis proposed that stage lighting be installed along the walls on each side of the stage. This lighting system would be controlled by a portable lighting board located in the theatre balcony. This lighting system can be purchased and installed for approximately $10,000. It Is also proposed to install a new sound system, separate from the currently existing sound system used for fis, This would provide sound amplification for bands, speakers and other events. The proposed system would include ampifiers, speakers ‘and wireless microphones and could be purchased and installed at a cost of approximately $60,000, ‘These proposed improvements will provide an immediate and tangible benefit to the community. For example, within the last several months, Friends of the Eiks has had discussions with the Olmstead Players, the local community theatre group. The ‘Olmstead Players has existed for many years and has periodically held performances at the Middletown American Legion, the First Church of God and on the M&H Railroad. However, because the group does not have a permanent home, it has been difficult for itto stage performances on a regular schedule. If the proposed modifications are made to the theatre, the Olmstead Players is interested in making the Elks Theatre its permanent performance venue and would essentially become the theatre's resident theatre company. This would result in increased utilization of the theatre and confer a benefit on this local theatre group and on the community which would benefit from the ‘group's increased activity In addition, the installation of digital projection equipment will not only allow the showing of digital and potentially 3D films, but will open the way to new uses for the theatre during those times when films are not scheduled. With the installation of an Xbox or other type of game console linked to the projector, it will be possible fo offer to ‘the public video-gaming on the theatre's large screen. While this experience has been offered at theatres in other areas, no theatres in this region currently offer this unique experience which it is believed will be very popular for college groups and private parties. In addition, with the installation of cable or a satelite dish connected to the digital projector, the theatre wil be able to show certain live events as alternative 3programming. For example, with the proper licensing, the theatre may be able to show live Penn State football on the big screen, an event which could be held in conjunction with Penn State Harrisburg, In addition, Friends of the Elks intends to explore co-marketing activities with whatever business or businesses ultimately occupy the retail side of the building. In anticipation ofthe possible lease of that portion of the building to Tattered Flag Brewery, talks have been held with the owners of that venture to discuss ideas for coordinated cfforts that would benefit both entities. This could possibly include a physical connection between the two parts of the building that would allow patrons of each business to ‘easily enter the adjoining business. Proposed Improvements and Modifications In order to futfll the needs of this proposal, the following improvements to the theatre are necessary: 4. Digital Projection Equipment. Purchase and installation of @ Solaria One Plus, 2K cigital projector and processor. (See attached estimate from Integrity Entertainment Systems in the Plans and Drawings section of this proposal) Projected cost: $47,959.89 2. Stage Installation. Construction of a stage extension projecting 8 feet in front of the existing stage and two dressing rooms in the stage wings. (See attached estimate.) Projected cost $16,000 3. Movie Screen. Purchase and installation of a motorized, retractable movie screen which can be rolled up above the stage during lve events. Projected cost, $10,000 4, Stage Lighting. Purchase and instalation of lighting instruments ‘and lighting board for use during live events. (See attached estimate from My Wife's Sound Company.) Projected cost! $10,000 6. Sound equipment. Purchase and installation of sound equipment necessary to provide amplification during live events. (See attached ‘estimate from My Wife’s Sound Company.) Projected cost $60,000 46. Carpeting. Purchase and installation of new carpeting in the lobby area, theatre aisles and stainvays. (See attached estimate.) Projected cost’ $9,500 7. Theatre Marquee. The installation of an historically appropriate marquee above the theatre entrance. This improvement is deemed to be critical in order to communicate to the public that the Elks ‘Theatre has been reborn and that even more improvements await within the theatre. (The estimate provided is based upon the reported cost of construction of the new marquee at the Embassy ‘Theatre in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, a picture of which is provided in the Plans and Drawings section.) Projected cost $35,000 8. _Extetior Lighting. instalation of up-lighting on the exterior facade of the theatre in order to illuminate the brick fagade during evening hours. Like the marquee, this dramatic lighting will signal that the Elks Theatre has been’revlaunched and will make the theatre building a focal point of the newly revitalized downtown area. Projected cost: $5,000 The following improvements and modifications are also presented for consideration. While they are not essential to the use of the theatre being proposed, they would make more complete the refurbishing of the theatre's interior. 1. Floor Refinishing. The wood floors ofthe theatre in the auditorium area are believed to be the original floors from the theatre's construction in 1911. There are currently 14 layers of paint on the floors. itis proposed to remove these paint layers to expose the natural wood floor which would then be finished and sealed. (See attached estimate.) Projected cost! $15,000 (See attached estimate.) 2. Theatre Seats. The seats from the theatre which were recently removed were purchased second-hand approximately 25 years ago from the AMC Theatre chain. Many of these seats are in poor condition and those that are currently in acceptable condition have only a limited life expectancy, Therefore, it is suggested that new seats be purchased and installed prior to the re-opening of the theatre. Information obtained from the Inwin Seating Company of Chicago, linois (the leading manufacturer of theatre seating) shows that there is a range of seating avaliable at various price 5levels. Irwin reproduces historic-type seating, which has been used in theatres such as the Majestic in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, ‘These seats are upholstered over a wooden seat and back and at the end of each row, facing the aisle, have a painted, cast iron end Panel. While prices ‘for these seats vary depending on the fabric ‘selected and other considerations, the lower end of the price range {or historic seating is $380 per seat. Assuming that there will be approximately 425 seats in the theatre, this drives out a cost of $161,500. Irwin Seating, of course, also manufactures standard theatre seating which is upholstered over plastic seats and seat backs and have a plastic or wood veneer end panel. This seating starts at a price of $250 per seat, driving out a cost of $106,250 for 425 seats. ‘The total cost of the proposed improvements, including new, historic-type seating and floor refinishing, is approximately $370,000. Conclusion ‘The Friends of the Elks Theatre submits that the foregoing proposal is realistic ‘and achievable in terms of its scope and the budget proposed. If adopted, the plan will reestablish the Elks Theatre as a focal point of Midaletown's downtown area, assure the survival of the theatre and act as a stimulus for additional economic development.HED?ee LE@ IES se 19600" SF maa sha 61667 S@ 1190 FA@ 20 BA@ 1200 LE@ etal Fer peor s00Re. torpor tour 009 RB, te oer stig sae Tota ning stage exterson orice 158 29125 Sk a3 27125 SFG) fA 230079 Heights iy UNIrPRICe_ToTAL, Ree Giusdownconct wat Fe ane 2585 heat 98324 SF@ ana a 3600.
