Title: 5 Points Theatre to Re-Launch with New Ownership and Funding Campaign
Post by: urbanjacksonville on August 16, 2011, 05:58:48 AM
The Times Union and Urban Jacksonville just published articles announcing the re-launch of the 5 Points Theatre.

QuotePlans include a larger screen, improved sound and acoustics, theater seats with a bar running the length of each row, and full-on kitchen where food will be delivered to your seat.

QuoteIf he [Tim Massett] pulls it off, it would add a vital cultural spark to an eclectic collection of close-in neighborhoods that would welcome such a spruced-up amenity, Riverside Avondale Preservation founder Wayne Wood said.

Jacksonville, we need your help raising funds to do this. Tim has set up a project page to help raise the money on a crowdsourced funding site called Ulule: http://www.ulule.com/5pointstheatre

If you contribute to the project, you will be rewarded with various levels of prizes, depending on your contribution level. The most popular level is $100 and in exchange you receive twelve movie tickets and twelve popcorns. With the average cost of a movie ticket around $7.50 this contribution pays for itself.

Urban Jacksonville Matching Challenge
I believe this project can be transformative so I have committed to match up to $100 in contributions from Urban Jacksonville readers.

Who remembers Sud's and more? food delivered while you watch the movie...what a great idea and i'm suprised it went away...i'd pay premium for a movie with that kind of service...even better if it's good food.

Under the "better acoustics" part they need to put mufflers on the A/C system.  It's really loud.

Yes, I remember this.  Okay Stephen - you've convinced me.  I'll kick in some cash and spread the word.
