Greetings from President & CEO, Ken Stein



                                              Dear Friends,


              2020 Board of Directors         A pandemic, murder hornets, UFOs, a strange monolith in
                                              the desert and one of the most contentious presidential
                     Willa Burke              elections in history... is anyone ready for a new year?
                   Jujamcyn Theaters
                                              Despite all that, I remain excited about the future of the
                    Laura Corman
              Educator/Community Volunteer    League of Historic American Theatres because 2019 was a
                   Christine Delaney          banner year for the League. I have every confidence that,
                  Tibbits Opera House         post-pandemic, we will see a return to prosperity. Our first
                  Steven Ehrenberg            ever virtual conference proved once again that historic

                       America                theatres may indeed be old, but they are quick to adapt
              Molly Fortune (Board Chair)     to change. Our current membership is diverse, with theatres
                 Newberry Opera House         large and small in places urban and rural:
                   Becky Hancock

                      DLR Group                   •  93% operate as non-profits
                    Keith Marston                 •  30% are dark due to COVID-19 16% are film houses
                The Shubert Organization             exclusively, but 63% offer at least some film as part of

               The Grand 1894 Opera House     for this year. The front of the Guide is full of articles and

                      Ken Stein               I wish I could tell you if the 2021 national conference was
                        LHAT                  going to once again be virtual or if we will be able to gather
                    Kevin Sullivan            in person, but who really knows what 2021 will bring? Stay
