Volunteers and Finances
Except for the general manager of the premises, the staff is mostly under the age of eighteen, and the theater is a popular place for youngsters to earn community service hours in order to apply for college.
According to the theater's Web site, it costs more than $20,000 a year to maintain the building, including more than $7,500 a year in maintenance costs for the 75-year-old marquee sign and $10,000-plus for the new DVD projection system's 35mm film projection equipment (replacement cost for one film projector would be $75,000). The new projection system "has enhanced the theater's capabilities" by "increasing the opportunities for special programs and events at the theater."
