Comment: Having lived here a bit longer than you , I grew up with the theater as well , and have fond memories of it . That doesn't change the reality of the situation .   I like the family home I grew up in , but unless I were a former president , one day it will be torn down too.   In it's current form there is nothing that building can provide that will pay even the most basic of bills---up keep , taxes , utilities etc .   That is the fact of the matter.  The only way to save it is to get a large or rich group of people together who don't care about the costs and have deep pockets of money to throw away every year.  Even those people after a few years of steady loses will say enough is enough.    The majority of people who years ago grew up with that theater said it wasn't worth saving .  With our sinking economy , now it's REALLY not worth saving.  IF reality didn't matter and we had unlimited money to blow , then maybe.   Write Trump...he might help .
