For almost seventy years the Rees Theatre in downtown Plymouth Indiana served as the area's hub for family entertainment. Sadly in 2009 the 1940 Art Deco theatre closed and fell into disrepair. Recognizing the value of the building as an important cultural and historic landmark for the people of Plymouth and Marshall County a group of concerned citizens began meeting in 2016 and 2017 to explore how to bring the Rees Theatre back to life. From this initiative the non-profit corporation The REES Theatre Inc. was formed with the mission to restore renovate and maintain the theatre as a community center for the arts culture and education. In 2018 The REES Theatre Inc. commenced its multi-phased restoration renovation and repurposing program. Masonry work was completed to restore the theatre's west-facing facade and the organization made additional repairs to the lighted marquee signage. Also architects engineers and audio-visual professionals provided studies and preliminary designs to create a vision of the theatre's future as a multi-purpose facility. 2019 saw further improvements made to the theatre's exterior envelope. Masons continued to restore the theatre's south and east-facing walls and a new roof installation neared completion. In 2020 efforts turned to the building's interior with demolition stabilization and framing taking place. Extensive work on the theatre's interior began in earnest in 2021 and through a public bidding process Brown & Brown Construction was awarded the contract for the final interior construction work on the Rees. This construction work began in October 2021 and continued through most of 2022. The construction crew crafted a multi-tiered 2,500 square foot main level auditorium with a 516 square foot stage featuring a special LED wall. The new 500+ square foot balcony allowed for a sound and lighting booth and more seating space. Also the theater was configured for performers' dressing rooms a catering kitchen a concessions area balcony level restrooms and a lobby with two ADA compliant restrooms. Skilled contractors installed The Rees' state of the art audio visual and IT technology equipment. Finally with the finishing paint countertops equipment and furnishings set in place The Rees Theatre proudly reopened its doors to the public on October 1 2022. The Rees Theatre Inc. imagined the possibilities toiled over design details received generous community support benefited from countless hours of volunteer service and ultimately returned a treasured historic venue to life. The organization looks forward to maintaining and operating the beautifully renovated building as a regional center for the arts education and community gatherings for many years to come. 66159 0 19273 Community Cultural and Educational Programs. From January through the end of September 2022 the Rees Theatre building was under construction and at times unsafe for members of the public to enter. When deemed secure tours of the theatre were conducted by invitation or appointment. Even while construction continued the Rees Theatre functioned as a center for community connection. The modernized Rees Theatre marquee displays customized digital messages and serves as an official Marshall County emergency messaging board. The restored lighted marquee continues to enhance the downtown's evening streetscape announcing community events messages of support and celebration and messages of public importance. Individuals and groups may sponsor their own marquee posts to publicize non-profit events proclaim happy occasions or commemorate milestones. Such sponsorships offset the operating costs for the brilliant signage. With its October 1st grand re-opening event The Rees Theatre welcomed a nationally recognized big band group as the first performing artist to grace the Robert Pickell Stage and to kick-off The Rees' renewed life as a venue for arts and celebration. The Rees did not slow down for the remainder of the calendar year showcasing the talents of singer-songwriters comedians bands actors and choral groups. In addition The Rees honored its roots with the presentation of nearly a dozen classic or beloved films. With the support of a generous donor The Rees treated all children aged 12 and under to free movie admission. Further The Rees hosted community events including Meet the Candidates nights and special celebratory events. A team of volunteers welcomed the community to happenings at The Rees serving as ushers concessions workers and post-event cleaners. Paid audio-visual technicians and artistic directors ensured that presentations at The Rees were of a high caliber. For its 2023 inaugural season The Rees Theatre volunteers has planned an exciting and diverse slate of movies performances educational events and community presentations. 2585158 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 1 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false IN X Randall Danielson 5749368247 12638 Emerald Court Plymouth IN 46563 X Randall Danielson President - Board of Directors 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Donna Pontius Board of Directors 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Miller Secretary - Board of Directors 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Don Wendel Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Starr Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morgan Garrison Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Flynn Director - Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false Brown and Brown General Contractors 124 South Elkhart Street Wakarusa IN 46573 General Contractor - Construction 2083623 All Pro Integrated Systems 400 West Main Street Fort Wayne IN 46802 Audio, video, lighting installation 156261 2 0 0 64149 0 826801 346897 0 1237847 711310 - Ticket Rental Concession Sales for Arts Educational and Cultural Events at The REES 711310 20605 20605 0 0 Community Marquee 900099 4565 4565 0 0 25170 13711 0 0 13711 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21009 64149 25429 -4420 -7470 3050 0 0 0 0 0 0 Uncategorized Income 1573 1573 0 0 1573 1273881 26743 -7470 16761 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26024 0 26024 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2270 0 2270 0 12500 0 12500 0 5240 2000 3240 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50000 50000 0 0 0 0 2327373 2324293 3080 0 5182 5182 0 0 1107 0 1107 0 4303 0 4303 0 841 841 0 0 7983 0 7983 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3377 0 3377 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13527 0 13527 0 Construction - Bridge Crane, 3-beam runway, equipment rental 8461 8461 0 0 Equipment - LED Screen 93549 93549 0 0 Equipment - theatre technology equipment 10866 10866 0 0 Bank Charges and Fees 1542 0 1542 0 140041 139966 75 0 2714186 2585158 79028 50000 897360 19474 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1877996 0 1861983 1877996 271089 211324 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3030437 2108799 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 498975 0 -1969 0 42 0 497048 X 2927769 1516755 102668 94996 3030437 1611751 3030437 2108799 -1440305 16939 0 4680 0 0 X false false false X 632387 830786 340248 1122563 1237847 4163831 632387 830786 340248 1122563 1237847 4163831 0 4163831 4026 21175 27674 52265 13711 118851 5717 611 0 0 1563 7891 4290573 0 0.9705 0.95 X Part II, line 10 | S.No:, Amount:, Description:| 1, 1573.00, Uncategorized Income| Part II, line 10 | S.No:, Year:, Amount:, Description:| 1, 2019, 611.00, Fundraising Income| 2, 2018, 5717.00, Fundraising income| RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 102668 11152 -17655 0 0 1169 94996 16556 83465 3057 0 0 409 102669 15372 250 1135 0 0 201 16556 9796 2193 -664 0 0 88 11237 6786 2500 564 0 0 154 9696 0.11 0.89 0.00 true false 87448 0 87448 1757175 0 0 1757175 0 0 0 0 17020 0 0 17020 16353 0 0 16353 1877996 Federal Unemployment Tax 42 42 Part V, line 4 The Rees Endowment Fund is a permanent fund to be used for the operation of the Rees Theatre as a center for arts culture education and celebration for present and future generations.
