Friends of The Senator Theatre

"Historic Theatre Nuts" who love Baltimore City's last remaining historic single-screen movie house: The SENATOR Theatre

The Baltimore Development Corp. (BDC) has issued and RFP on behalf of Baltimore City government (baltimoredevelopment.com/pressDetail.aspx?id=181). Interested parties should contact Kristen Mitchell, of the BDC, at 410-837-9305.

We still have hopes that a historic movie house - friendly group/individual will enter the winning proposal and with the aid of the community transition The Senator into a non-profit multipurpose arts, education & entertainment facility - like other old theatres across the country have done (venuetech.com for a few examples).

The videos presented here, produced by fellow supporters attempts to drive home how much we have already lost... And how Baltimore, specifically, is may allowed this endangered species die out.

During a recent visit by the Theatre Historical Society, Barry Chandler, a society member from England had this to say: "It's the history of this nation. The first two quarters of this century, the motion picture was the entertainment. Theaters like this are historic."

The Senator's "Opening" program (see copies at: friendsofthesenatortheatre.wordpress.com/about/) identified her as the "Theatre of Distinction"... We are now facing a fearful possibility that she may become the "Theatre of Extinction".
