A 250 Seat Theater Partisan

Patrick...please...let them tear it down...put up the facade, then have them build the 250 seat state of the art theatre for free................and of course we or the town get to approve what they have in mind so that it keeps PB as Palm Beach and not a mall.

This to me as you know has always made the most sense. And this is the only position that I am prepared to support....Best of Luck.

Mr. Flynn’s Response:

It's going to cost somebody about $5 million dollars to put a theater in Palm Beach. If the candidate is Florida Stage I would have 3 comments. Are 50 more seats worthy of $5 million dollars. For a million less we can fix up the Playhouse. With 850 seats we project an annual deficit of approximately the same as Florida Stage with 250 seats. Who serves the community more? We will have music and dance in addition to theater.

As an actor and a producer, you will have more access to the Playhouse than the shed the developers are talking about. As an audience member, the Playhouse will present a rich variety of programming. I really implore you to reconsider.

Thanks,

Patrick Henry Flynn
