Greetings from President & CEO, Ken Stein

2018 Board of Directors Dear Historic Theatre Operator,

Dana Amendola Thank you again for taking the time to participate in our historic theatre
Disney Theatrical Group research project. The League looks forward to creating new opportunities to
Randy Cohen serve historic theatres based on the information you provided. Because of the
Americans for the Arts tremendous response to this project, I remain excited about the future of the
Molly Fortune League. With over 1,100 individuals representing nearly 400 historic theatres,
Newberry Opera House the League membership is a robust cross-section of the historic theatre indus-
Jeffrey W. Gabel try. Our recent national conference in Austin proved once again that historic
Gettysburg College’s Majestic Theater theatres may be old, but they are clearly not outdated. New ideas, new en-
Becky Hancock ergy and new faces. We are historic in name only.

Karamu House, Inc. To join the League, you do not need a special placard or even a national
Stephanie Silverman (Board Chair) registry listing. You simply need to be a theatre 50 years or older in a com-
Belcourt Theatre munity that doesn’t want to see you go away. I hope you will consider joining
Lynne King Smith the League so that we can further assist you with your efforts to get open,
TicketForce stay open and be successful. When I was the Executive Director at the Para-
Tom Tomlinson mount and State Theatres in Texas, I took a dying organization in bankruptcy
Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth and turned it into one of the most successful nonprofits in the city. I credit
County the resources I received from the League with that turn around. Today that
same theatre continues to thrive and showed other nonprofit theatres how to
