You may want to talk to an attorney. Maybe you can save the theater, just like the way they had saved the Rose Theater located in Omaha, Nebraska. Local groups and university theater divisions may help as well. I do wish you the very best of luck during this holiday season.

The Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. I’m in the process of acquiring a theater to start with. More will follow in the future with varying locations. Some theaters will require a “request for proposal.”

I’m working on acquiring a vintage theater in the midwestern states. Can you work in this region?

I do wish you the very best of luck on your theater purchase! Maybe you can talk to the university theater division for help. Preservation groups may be interested in your quest. There are grants you can apply for. Your theater may produce some revenue in advertising deals. Tour bus and coach companies may also help supply clients for live performances.

Happy Holidays!

Natalieland2006 commented about Whiteside Theatre public hearing tonight on Nov 14, 2006 at 11:26 am

I would certainly object to that offer and find another suitable offer. The very original features do indeed need to be restored to its former glory for all to enjoy. There are plenty of colleges and universities that could put it to use, provided that it’s for sale.

“Have a very wonderful day in ‘Natalieland!’”

Natalieland2006 commented about Small town theater in need? on Nov 9, 2006 at 11:12 am

Welcome to the club. There are plenty of theaters that do indeed need to be saved. Check the “for sale” section of this and other sites and a realtor. Preservation groups do like to become involved in restoration projects on donated or purchased theaters. You’ll also need good management to run the theater.

I wish you good luck on your theatric project!

Please do have a very nice day!

Natalieland2006 commented about Palace Theatre demolished - Superior WI on Nov 6, 2006 at 12:53 pm

Yes indeed, it is. This theater could have been very good for a ‘CATS’ play or other remarkable Broadway musical shows. This is a good example of what the late Jackie Gleason meant when he was asking “what’s the world coming to?” It appears that this theater could have been easily marketed better or given to a university theater division in the name of higher education. There are countless ways to revitalize theatrical uses of any given vintage theater. Many awe at the theaters over in Europe. I do like the ancient theaters over in Greece and Italy. A theatrical industry associate by the name of Natalie Tiehen, is very fond of public theaters, such as the Globe. She also likes private theaters. Theater masks are rare, as they were common in the Middle Ages for both private and public theater performances.

In the second and third grades, I had learned “back in the day” of art colors. I made a geometric ball with circles, hexagons or other applicable shapes, using construction paper and glue. We also made plaster masks to be custom painted for costume use. We were taught creativity and originality. We had to use our thinking “caps” in elementary school. Many parents think children aren’t being pushed hard enough these days.

Many college students don’t exhibit these types of traits. That in turn, is affecting our society with people not getting quality education, like they had in the past.

Theaters, like zoos, have provided for social interaction for ages, unlike albums, cassettes, CDs, computers, DVDs, Internet, newspapers, radios, televisions and so forth. It also appears many people prefer social isolation.

Books and pianos are becoming things of the past, like a lot of other things. E-mails are replacing birthday or other greeting cards. Movies and television productions do not have the quality work put into their scripts that they had years ago. “Old timers” are getting tired of our “throw away” society. They often exclaim that almost nothing is “what it used to be.” What ever happened to originality? There’s often too much “same as your neighbor’s stuff.” Antiques and artifacts do need to be saved too.

There are too many “copycats” doing remake work in the entertainment industry. Aspiring artists need to create their own work instead of copying someone else’s.

On a brighter note, for those of you active or involved in the theater industry, please keep me posted on other vintage theaters that are seeking new owners and groups willing to help fund theater restorations and revitalizations. We all like the stories of theaters being saved and put back into use. We all can collaborate for nice theatric goals.

I certainly do hope that you have a very nice day in “Natalieland!” Have a better one tomorrow in the world of theaters.

Natalieland2006 commented about Los Angeles Theater(s) For Sale?? on Nov 3, 2006 at 1:55 pm

Realtors, telemarketers and used car salespeople do fit very well into one category. They want to become involved in a private party sale agreement, just to secure a healthy commission check.

Be careful when doing business with any of the above professionals. Some will claim your deal is much too complex and will talk you into hiring them. This is just another ploy to obtain a very nice commission. A lot of sale agreements involving private parties may be completed at a local law firm for about $500.00.

Sometimes you can get a better selling price with a private seller. They may even carry the paper for seller and tax benefits. The buyer may also benefit from this type of sale. Use a good attorney to review the deal. Outsiders may affect the terms of a private party deal. You can’t always put a price tag on a vintage theater. They certainly do take special buyers with foresight and imagination.

Covenants certainly may be attached to historic landmarks to preserve a theatrical status. There are too many theaters are being razed for a drug store or a parking lot!

Good luck to those preserving and saving these vintage theater palaces. They are part of our drama history.

Thank you for your consideration and have a very nice day!

You may certainly contact Stan Kiepke regarding any donations at the Rose Theater in Omaha, Nebraska at 402/345-9718, extension number 147. His e-mail address is listed as for the venue. His facsimile is also listed as 402/344-7255. Any donations would be most appreciated at this children’s theater!

Thank you for your consideration and have a nice day!

Well, you should not bring a president any bad luck. You certainly wouldn’t want to give people any bright ideas, except to keep the president from harm’s way. There are better productions to be seen. There are excellent plays like ‘CATS’ to be viewed.

Natalieland2006 commented about Westwood / Hilliard Square Theatre in Lakewood, Ohio on Oct 27, 2006 at 9:36 am

It’s good to see that atmospheric theaters are still around, such as the Rose Theater, located in Omaha, Nebraska! Hopefully some preservation groups will contribute to revitalize this gem of a historic landmark.

It was good that a chain drug retailer’s purchase offer was refused. Once restored, covenants could be placed to preserve this vintage theater.

I wish the best of luck! Please e-mail any history with exterior and interior photographs of this theater to or .

Thank you for your consideration and do have a very nice day.

Natalieland2006 commented about Garden Hills Theatre to close on Oct 25, 2006 at 9:14 am

This is indeed too bad to see another theater go. Perhaps someone will be able purchase it to revitalize and have a multiple purpose venue. The Internet is a very nice audience source using webcams, in addition to having a live theater audience. Sometimes radio and television stations are piped in to broadcast live performances and other events, such as opera.

This theater appears capable of being listed on a historical society list. It may be also nice if it had an orchestra pit.

I do wish the theater the very best of luck!

Please do have a very nice day!

To whom it may concern:

Perhaps someone may buy it to reopen and restore. An owner can refuse buyout offers. Live and Internet performances are possible. Each theater has to be unique in style.

I’m in the market in the United States for a theater. Historic ones are certainly nice to pursue. I had studied theater in college.

You certainly are welcome to drop me a line sometime. Have a very nice day.

Thank you for your consideration.

Very Truly Yours,

Matt Daniels. ().
