[QUOTE=Taltarzac725;2233080]I am pretty sure the Developers were funding the Villages theaters. They have private viewing boxes in the Old Mill Playhouse and did have one at the Barnstorm Theater.
They were not about making money but creating a lifestyle for retirees who had grown up going to movies.[/QUOTE
I have seen developers negotiate leases with kickbacks like a private viewing box. The developer is merely exercising his right to use a portion of his property for personal use as long as it is agreed upon by both parties. It does not mean that he is involved in the daily operation of that commercial business.
The villages is a unique entity and I love learning more about it every day. I would really love to hear from someone in the know!
