The Brevard City Council on Monday voted to grant the current operator, Take One Entertainment, a lease that will allow owner Abby Steel to run the theater for as many as 10 more years.
Please, more Indie, documentary and foreign films. Less Kiddie and Action junk. Our population is getting older here. Lots of retirees. Tired of looking up at the marquee and seeing Kiddie Stuff. Thanks.
My husband and I love to go to the CoEd. We are so pleased with the decision in favor of Abby Steel. Mr. Denton’s ideas are also something that might reach another type of audience and would enable the theater to be open on other nights of the week. Also, the movies in the summer on Tuesday and Thursday for the kids is a great idea and one that we hope will continue this coming summer.
City attorney Mack McKeller's comment to City Council last night that not renewing the lease might lead Abby Steele to leave with the digital projection equipment is puzzling, to say the least, since that would be legal only if Ms. Steele owned the equipment. That equipment, about $250,000 worth, was bought and installed by Mark Peddy, the previous tenant, and left to the city when he decided not to renew his lease. It seems reasonable to assume that this equipment is part of the building, which is owned by the city and not the property of whomever is the last person to lease the theater. For the record, this comment is not meant to disparage Abby Steele, who I think has done a wonderful job of running the theater these last several years.
