Revitalizing and operating a historic theater is a challenging community development project that can have catalytic effects for a business district. A successful movie theater or multipurpose performing arts theater requires dynamic promotion and programming strategies that can attract many diverse audiences for fun, entertainment and community building. Theaters help build creative capacities and provide cultural entrepreneurship opportunities for local talents.
