100% agreed
it would be classy move by the owners.

Bring the movies back to Brownwood and Sumter. Enough of the apartments!!

I'm guessing somebody's been asleep for awhile. There are movies at LSL.

A live Comedy Club with some good comedians would be a wonderful addition to the Villages!

Not going to drive 30 min to go to LSL for a movie.

I think all of the suggestions are fine, and something should be done with that building. Personally, I don't think they should make it into a performing arts center. The Sharon and The Savannah Center supply enough entertainment.

In addition, each regional recreation center has a more than adequate stage, lighting and sound options for "Community Theatre!" Besides, if you have ever tried to rent the Savannah Center for a production, the costs are way too expensive. If they built a Brownwood Performing Arts Center, they costs would probably be even higher.

How about a nice dance hall. There are lots of restaurants for dancing but people miss the old Katie Belle’s.
The squares are ok bit dancing on cement is tough.

Living south of 44, we won't drive at night for shows in Spanish Springs, so we would hope for similar venues down this way and Brownwood would be great. Missed some good shows:Tommy James and Blue Oyster Cult. Hoping for a miracle.

With seasonal residents here and the additional residents in new villages, parking in Brownwood is much more crowded than it used to be. Much as I'd like to see a performing center, I'm not sure that parking would be sufficient.

And except for the "discount days", they are used sparingly...

Give them a reason to open the theater and maybe they will...

There closed because of all the trouble that goes on around the theaters, it's their way of controlling violence and hooligans from hanging around.

Very little traffic late at night?
