SAYRE, OK — I spoke with Main Street in Sayre today and the Stovall Theatre remains vacant. There is grant money to purchase the theatre and to repait the roof.
There are many theatres in the west that I would like to help restore. Does anyone know of a group that saves old theatres?
They did it with Light houses – why not our entertainment venues. If anyone would like to contact me on such an organization- and or starting one, I would appreciate it.

Yes, there is a organization that helps to document, restore and reopen old historical theatres. You need to contact LHAT in Baltimore. They have many wonderful indivduals, companys and organizations, that work endless on behalf of communities, to help keep their historical theater heritage. Their address is www.lhat.org
Also their is a company based in Indiana that assist individuals, non-for profits and for profits in the restoration, marketing, business plans and management of historical theaters. You many find them at www.onstagein.com
Good Luck!
