A primary recommendation of the Adaptive Reuse Study was the development of a 154-seat flexible
theatre space to complement the 544 seat Scott Theatre. The arts community has reiterated this need
more recently. The flexible space would be very affordable and would address the needs of small and
midsize groups, as well as individual performers {poets, writers, independent producers, musicians, and
filmmakers). The space would accommodate workshops and educational presentations suited to smaller
audiences. Because risers and seats will be movable, the open, high ceiling space, with raised flooring,
would allow for dance rehearsals for groups such as Contemporary Dance, JAADE Dance Company, and
Imagination Celebration's Debbie Allen Dance Institute.
The total amount to develop the flexible theatre is $249,444. The Arts Council has committed to raise
$154,444 of that cost for the flexible theatre. The City is being asked to contribute $59,444 as leverage for
private sector match. In addition, the family of Hardy and Betty Sanders has also pledged $75,444 toward
this commitment. Grant proposals have been submitted to a local foundation and individual donors. A
"buy a seat" campaign will soon be underway.
The building was constructed in the 1954's, and neither the cooling tower, chiller, nor heating pumps have
been replaced. Additionally, there are some public spaces in the faciNty that are not ADA
accessible. Below is a list of the capital needs and the funding sources that are recommended for City
Council approval:
Culture and Tourism Fund Balance {Bed Tax}
Portion of cost {$249,000} of flexible theatre $ 59,004
