First off thank you for choosing to bring your family to the Free Family Film Festival we know you have a choice and after all it is FREE! If you have ever taken the time to look around the theatre after one of these shows you might have some understanding of the task to clean the building afterwards. With 600 plus people (most of which are children) attending each show it is a difficult task to clean up after everyone.
You obviously have not spent much time in old buildings, and some of the people that attend the festival may not use the best of hygiene but we choose not to judge people by their lack of means, the festival is after all free to everyone.
With regard to seats, there are not any seats marked as “do not use†and I find it incredible that you personally checked 80% of our seats, are you telling me that you personally checked 1,299 seats? Because that is 80% of the 1,624 seats that we have, and this includes the upper balcony that is not even open during the festival!
I find it ignorant on your part to think that we are responsible for the past 80 years or so of deferred maintenance from past owners. We have spent many hundreds of thousands of dollars in the ongoing maintenance and restoration of this magnificent building and if you think that you can do a better job if it well, you are welcome to purchase the theatre and spend your own hard earned money and then sit back and watch as people abuse it every time that an event is held here if you believe that you can. It would not surprise me at the least that the only time you come to the theatre is when it is free.
On another note I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who chooses to continue and support the Indiana Theatre, all that we do is for you.
We are looking for any information that might help us with the restoration of our theatre, pictures, plans, historic accounts or what ever someone might have. Even the smallest item or bit of information would be most helpful. Thank you…
