Need for Project - (Maximum characters 3300.) *
Describe your need for the project (or portion of the project on which grant funds will be spent). Discuss need for additional space
(performance, exhibition, office, work, or storage) and your history of organization growth. Discuss increased square footage or
increased utility. Reference long term construction or renovation needs documented in a long-range plan.
Pensacola Little Theatre (PLT) was deeded the old Escambia County Court of Records and Jail (1911-1977) in 1988. In the late
1980s and early 1990s, it was the organization's duty to renovate the building into a cultural center for the community. With the
financial help of the community, the county, and the state, the building was transformed and completed in 1996.
While there are countless other, sexier improvements needed for the structure since then, an institution is only as strong the safety
and protection it provides the participants within.
Over the last twenty-five years, the weathering and natural depreciation of the exterior fixture located along the gulf of Northwest
Florida means the Pensacola Cultural Center fire escape has seen better days. There have been drastic improvements in fire
escape design and coding to better suit historic buildings.
We virtually never use the existing fire escape staircase. God forbid we ever need to use the fire escape staircase. But considering
the diverse cultural programming and arts education offered within the Pensacola Cultural Center, we can't afford to take a single
risk of having a faulty fire escape system should that time ever arise.
As a cultural hub of Escambia County, 100% of PLT's operations are dedicated to the cultural development and artistic progression
of Pensacola. PLT is home to Ballet Pensacola, West Florida Literary Federation, and Liberty Church. Additionally, the Pensacola
Little Theatre rents its space to photography, painting, film, crafts, and dance organizations community wide throughout the year.
The same structure that rents its stage to a local religious group on Sunday mornings houses the LGBTQ film festival in the
summer. The same stage that holds acting classes for Title I school children presents performances by the Pensacola human
trafficking task force.
Antiquated and inadequate fire escapes have been a downfall of historic buildings for years. In order to continue to produce quality
art at a high level, as well as attract community partners, the transparent upgrade and renovation to the emergency fire escape for
the building needs to take place.
With increasing record-grossing shows in both quality and quantity, the tens of thousands of hours put in by nearly 800 volunteers in
the Pensacola Cultural Center should not be jeopardized due to lack of funding to replace a rarely used, though essential safety
fixture.
Operating Forecast Detail - (Maximum characters 3300.) *
Describe how the space will be used and the related costs. Incorporate budgetary figures where appropriate. You may reference a
budget spreadsheet (provided as support material) or incorporate the revenue and expense figures into the narrative. Consider both
staffing and programming needs. Include:
New staff that will be needed
Programs that will be added, expanded or improved
Additional expenses to the organization
New revenue sources that will be used to offset the added expense
Pensacola Little Theatre won't make money off of a new fire escape. If we're lucky, no one will truly ever realize we have replaced
the old staircase at all.
What we will do is proactively replace the emergency staircase with more efficient, longer-lasting materials in order to avoid future
replacements for decades to come, while simultaneously decreasing maintenance expenses.
The existing structure is erected with wrought iron, which has led to rusting and flaking. Though a tough, durable iron, the life
expectancy of the wrought iron staircase, without proper maintenance and coating, is limited.
The new fire escape staircase will be erected in aluminum, which unarguably stands up to coastal weather far better than wrought
iron.

Aluminum’s greatest attribute is that it is corrosion resistant without any further treatment after it is spun. Unlike wrought iron,
aluminum doesn’t rust. With aluminum, there is no paint or coating to wear or scratch off. Professionals recommend aluminum fire
escapes because they come with virtually no maintenance expenses and boast longer warranties.
The only additional funds anticipated as a result of this grant are in private support. Historically, the community reacts to media
coverage of funding secured by the state positively, and individual donations slightly increase in the months immediately following
that coverage. Operationally, the theatre doesn't make more programming dollars due to a fire escape replacement. But the
community is the best part of our community theatre, and they consistently rally behind and support state funding with their own
private support.
Fiscal Stability - (Maximum characters 1655.) *
Describe the fiscal condition of the organization as it relates to the successful completion of the proposal. Also describe plans to sustain
the proposed acquisition/renovation/new construction after the grant period.
Pensacola Little Theatre is the oldest continually-operating community theatre in the Southeastern United States, celebrating its
83rd year in 2019. Pensacola Little Theatre has a history of fiscal stability, including a $1.2 million endowment and a $250,000+
emergency reserve. (Considering the hurricanes that have affected our area historically, this is a reserve we are proud of, though we
know nearly that entire sum could be drained with damages from one hurricane.)
PLT has two paying tenants, Ballet Pensacola and Liberty Church. The two tenants provide over $125,000 in earned revenue per
year. The funds allow the building to be maintained without affecting programming.
Currently, the theatre operates on a balanced budget, while holding only two fundraising events per year including a gala and a
raffle. Both represent approximately 10% of our total operating budget. Earned Income represents 80% of PLT's total operating
budget.
But fiscal stability is not at the expense of the dire needs of the building. As a part of the theatre's long-range strategic plan, the
organization upgraded all lighting in the Pensacola Cultural Center to LED fixtures and replaced 16 antiquated air conditioning units
with all new energy-efficient HVAC units in 2019. Although it may not look like a fundraising plan, the investment will result in an
estimated $20,000 in annual energy savings. These savings will sustain the proposed renovation after the grant period.

Community Impact of Project - (Maximum characters 3300.) *
Discuss how the project will serve the city, county, or region, especially regarding new or improved programming and community
services. Include information on:
organizations and local artists that will use the facility
educational or research opportunities
access for underserved groups
economic, historical, environmental or architectural significance
Located in the center of Downtown Pensacola, the Pensacola Cultural Center is the hub for community events, local theatre, arts
education, and cultural programming. Nearly 1,000 volunteers call PLT their second home throughout the year, with more than
120,000 visitors impacted annually.
In addition to theatre, the Cultural Center houses Ballet Pensacola, the West Florida Literary Federation, Liberty Church, and their
patrons.
Virtually every community event calls PLT home, such as Studer Community Institute's EntreCon and Civicon, Pensacon, the
Stamped LGBTQ Film Festival, Temple Beth El's Jewish Film Festival, Wide Angle Photo Club, the Pensacola Human Trafficking
Task Force, Pensacola Opera, Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, Pensacola Children's Chorus, Leadership Pensacola, African
American Heritage Society, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation, the University of West Florida, and countless others.
Every single one of these institutions and their audiences within the city, county, and region entrust the Pensacola Little Theatre to
adhere to their safety and protection while engaging in such fulfilling and culturally diverse programming.
This project serves the lives of children and elderly patrons who are given free access to performances and seminars to bridge the
gap between under-served and advantaged communities.
This project ensures the safety of hundreds of teenagers choosing to spend their afternoon within the safe-haven walls of the
Cultural Center instead of exposing themselves to peer-pressure and dangerous environments.
This projects affects the nonprofit partnerships between PLT and the Pensacola Humane Society to host pet adoption days within
the Cultural Center during our production of CATS. Or while collecting winter wear in the theatre to benefit the Gulf Coast Kids'
House throughout our performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
This project's impact is invaluable to the community and the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually invested in cultural tourism
because of its programming.
Financial Impact of Project - (Maximum characters 3300.) *
Discuss the financial impact the project will have on your operations, maintenance, and programming? Address plans for community
development, fundraising campaigns, operational grants, and endowment opportunities.
The project will have a net-positive impact on operations, maintenance, and programming at the Pensacola Little Theatre. The
project, once completed, will take less money to sustain than the existing fire escape for the building. Therefore, there will be more
operating dollars to dedicate to programming, including educational outreach to under-served populations in the community.
Other than utilizing the funds saved to proactively sustain the project with adequate, thankfully minimal maintenance, the theatre will
invest any additional funds saved through this project into our Beyond Boundaries program. Beyond Boundaries takes shows on the
go to offer free arts education and performances to under-served communities that cannot come to the theatre, including Title I
schools, nursing homes, community centers, and libraries.
The installation of the new aluminum fixture will result in an estimated $2,000 savings each year because of minimal maintenance

Impact on human health and the environment (light pollution, low emitting materials, etc.)
LEED, Energy Star or green building certifications
Water and energy efficiencies
Site features (building reuse, habitat preservation, etc.)
Pensacola Little Theatre adhere's to all fire safety codes, including proper sprinkler heads and exit doors to help stop the spread of
smoke or fire from one area to the other. The fire safety ventilation design of Pensacola Cultural Center ensures proper
pressurization.
The replacement of the existing wrought iron staircase with a new, more eco-friendly aluminum staircase impacts human health and
the environment with less pollution and debris from the rusting iron.
Rust is the primary threat for the deterioration of cast and wrought iron. If the process is allowed to continue, the metal can
completely deteriorate. Rust removal and prevention is the first step to fire escape conservation. Rust also occurs when moisture
collects in joints, cracks, and crevices of the masonry where the fire escape is anchored. Corrosion can cause the iron and the
masonry to deteriorate, weakening the anchorage to the structure. Replacement of hardware may be necessary if serious
deterioration has occurred. Long-term neglect can lead to serious structural failure, including loss of anchorage to the masonry wall.
Nearly 75% of all the aluminum ever produced in the United States is still in use today. Aluminum is not only a great material
because it is lightweight and conducts heat well, it can also be recycled indefinitely if uncontaminated.
