Hello all, I am so impressed by this site and I just had to get in on the conversation.  I have just moved back to Jacksonville and I am looking forward to getting very involved in the cultural life of downtown.

Dont hesitate!  Dive right in... Welcome!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I should clarify...we moved back a while ago but work is/was travel and many possible relocations but we have firmly decided to stay. 

Now who is up for a permanent professional theatre company downtown?

Stephen you know how to humble a guy...

I still believe in what I said then, I wish I could moderate some of the inflated language but we were deep into Shakespeare rehearsals so what can I really expect from my overly dramatic self...

on to today and my belief that Jax is ready to support a professional company...

what do you think?

also please see the thread we started about the Lab

thanks

^ The core is. Riverside and Springfield get behind you and cheer you on.

Not sure about the rest of town.

Welcome to the site.

I think your point is well taken S, and thanks to all for the welcomes...

As far as the colleges I think they can be a valuable ally in creating and sustaining a richer and more diverse cultural life for the city, but they cannot do it alone. 

Strong organizations must lead and form partnerships with those institutions and the city itself.

But in order for that to happen the city must acknowledge, as I think it is starting to, the great value that a strong and vibrant professional performing arts organization based in, creating from and showing in downtown can give to the city.

Thumbs up for the creation of a professional theatre company in Jax. And, Devlin is definitely the man to get it going.
