D' Mark Reesor The Whitby Cour th o use Theatre may be facing a signifi- cant increase in the aznount it pays to rent the Centenniai Building theatre. A report on rentai fees at the theatre was on the agenda for Town operations committee at the Jan. 10 meeting, but with- drawn when it came up i the meeting Committee was to have decided whether the report s3hould b. «received as informna- tion.» A second, virtually identicai report was submitted at the Jan. 24 coxmttee meeting, but was aanwithdrawn, without com- mnby department director Larry Morrow when it came Up. In the reports, Morrow says hie department wants to rent out the facility on a per use basis. Proposed rentai fees this year for the 160-seat theatre would be 60 centsr seat for perfor- mances and 10,cents per seat for rehearsals, rising to 70 cents and 15 cents respectively for 1995 and 80 cents and 20 cents for 1996. Morrow estimates that would increase the rentai fee to $4000 this year, which com pares to the $500 aid annuallyby the theatre group to rent the facility in the past. In an interview given after the firet report was withdrawn, Whitby Courthouse Theatre pro- sident Rick Kerr said negotia- tions on fees are continuing but the roposed rates were too high. tegroup has «put a fair chunk of dough into the place,» ho said. Improvements last year alone includied buying and instal- lin& curtains and iights, cieaning an.pying haif the cost o ropainting th theatre, according to-Kerr. "I think they must have thought because we put that kind of rnoney into it thie year that we had that disposable in- corne every year, and that's juet not the case... uThat was the resuit of 10 years of fundraising' The rec department's numbers would mean a 27 per cent fee increase in 1995 and a 21 per cent increase in 1996, Kerr said. "I juet don't think they crun- ched the numbers te realize that, well, maybe this was just a liitie bit igih. "Whiat I tried to say to themn wae 'Guys ail of a sudden within a year anc1 a half or so, we're up te four and a hai five, five and a haif thousoand dlare a year and we're only bringing in anywhere from $500 to $1,500 profit a year... where -do. you think we're going to getithis montey? doi Te only thing wecadi drive our ticket prices through the roof and thon people arent gorng to corne and îWere not going to have full houses." Morrow emphasized ini the fmrt report that the department's «Primary g9a0sis <tii. actual etablishmg of a rentai f.. ver- sus aa le sum." A rent f.. wouid require tihe theatre group to "efflicientiy sche- dule particularly thefr irehear- salse., added, thus minmzn theïr own and the Town's coots. It would also .allow the Town to rent tihe theatre to other grops,"for which we have reetyreceived inquiries.
