Welcome Letter
THE PRESIDENT
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the historic Florida Theatre!
Last year was the theatre’s best attended year in 7 years. We already have more shows
booked for this year than last year, and with your continued patronage of the theatre’s
offerings, we are looking forward to breaking that record again this year.
Pollstar Magazine is a trade journal for the concert industry, and each year they release a set
of year-end charts for the industry. In 2014 the Florida Theatre was #82 on Pollstar’s Top 100
Theatres list in terms of attendance. The Florida Theatre moved up 7 points from 2013.
If you were one of the lucky ones to see Mike Birbiglia’s performance of his one-man show
“Thank God for Jokes” at the theatre last November, you heard him call the Florida Theatre,
“The only theatre in Florida.” He was joking of course, but now we have independent,
objective and verifiable evidence that the Florida Theatre is the 82nd theatre in the country!
These numbers are also living proof of our vibrant cultural community, and they legitimize
our own thoughts about the historic Florida Theatre; namely, that it is one of the unique
things that, “Makes Jacksonville, Jacksonville.”
As we progress through the year, I hope you we will see you many times for the shows that
catch your eye, and I hope that every once in a while, you will consider attending a show that
you are unfamiliar with. We like to think that while everything we put on our stage may not
be to every single person’s taste, it’s all of the highest quality, so we encourage you to
experiment a little.
Either way, whenever you come back, bring friends! They deserve to know what a special
place this theatre is too.
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, 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 London
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
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. 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.
