During a Board of Supervisors committee hearing at San Francisco City Hall on Monday, Aaron Peskin expressed concerns that a proposed business model would leave the venue “dark about half the year.”
Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin is urging Another Planet Entertainment to take a seat and assess the needs and desires of community advocates who have long opposed its controversial plans to change the Castro Theatre. Now, a decision that will play a crucial role in determining the fate of the century-old movie palace has been delayed for another two weeks as board members ask all sides to come to a compromise.
APE is planning a $15 million overhaul of the theater, which includes upgrades to the screen, dressing rooms and ventilation system, as well as the restoration of aging interior features like the ceiling and chandelier.
But during a Board of Supervisors committee hearing at San Francisco City Hall on Monday afternoon, Peskin expressed concerns that this business model would leave the venue “dark about half the year” and said he thought Perloff and APE could “show the community more, sooner.”
