The Florida Theatre

Welcome Letter
the President
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the historic Florida Theatre for what we hope will
be a memorable experience.
The Florida Theatre is managed and programmed by the Florida Theatre Performing Arts Center, Inc.,
a nonprofit corporation. As a nonprofit corporation, we are governed by a Board of Directors who
serve on a completely voluntary basis, for no compensation whatsoever, simply because they love
the arts and this historic building, and want to help make Jacksonville a better place to live and work.
For the last five years, our Board of Directors has been blessed with the leadership of a person truly
committed to our cause, and I want to use this space in this edition of Ovation to publicly thank
Dave Henry for his leadership. Dave steps down on September 30.
Dave Henry became Chairman of the Board of Directors shortly after retiring as the Executive Vice
President of BI-LO and Winn-Dixie. Dave succeeded Irene Lazzara as Chair, who herself had the leadership
of the Board thrust upon her unexpectedly when her predecessor relocated out of town for work.
Without too much trouble, you can imagine how that conversation went: “Who has the time and talent to
lead the board next? Gee Dave, you suddenly have some free time…”
Pictured: Dave Henry
Irene became Chair in 2007, just as the worst economic downturn
in decades was upon us. Dave had the equally unenviable task
of taking over during the worst of the down economy. Yet,
he had the vision to know it was also an opportunity, and
over the last five years, the Florida Theatre organization
has completely remade itself. Last year we had the best
attendance in seven years, and in fact attendance was so
good that it earned the theatre a spot on the national
charts. The concert industry trade journal Pollstar ranked
the Florida Theatre in its Top 100 Theatre Venues of 2013
and 2014 list. We were #89 in 2013 and #82 in 2014. Over
the last few years, the annual budget has more than
doubled, and the number of donors has more than
quadrupled. We are now managing a sustainable annual
budget of about $6 to $7 million a year, 55% of it from
ticket sales, 25% from other business activities,
and 20% from fundraising.
There have been some memorable nights during this period too. Lynyrd Skynyrd taped two concerts for a
DVD and a TV special. Larry Wilmore, now the host of The Nightly Show on Comedy Central, taped his last
Showtime Special at the theatre. Trip Advisor has twice, in 2014 and 2015, awarded the Florida Theatre a 4-1/2
out of 5 star rating. Many new and committed board members have joined the organization to support the
theatre during this time, and an almost brand new staff, including me in 2012, has also come on board during
Dave’s tenure.
Being a board member is a frequently thankless and anonymous task. The reward is mtostly the intrinsic knowledge
that you have helped to make the theatre and our community a better place. As of October 1, our new Board Chair
is Vince McCormack, but if you happen to see Dave Henry at a show (or any board member for that matter), make
sure to thank him personally. If he’s still on his game, he will probably tell you that the best way to thank him is to
make a tax deductible contribution and become a Friend of the Florida Theatre too!
Thank you Dave!
Sincerely,
Numa C. Saisselin
President

History of
the Florida theatre
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.”

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.
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
improvements. Any surplus funds cannot be retained by an individual or other
entity. The organization holds its assets in trust for the community.
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.
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 or 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 a year. 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.
