City of Fort Pierce Seeks Proposals for the Lease and Operational Management of the Sunrise Theatre

FORT PIERCE, FL – The City of Fort Pierce is currently accepting proposals for the lease and management of the Sunrise Theatre. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their proposals by July 31, 2024, through the City’s Request for Proposals process.

Exploring the option to contract with an external entity to manage the Sunrise Theatre comes with several key benefits for our community. By bringing in external expertise and resources, the City seeks to enhance the overall operations of the theatre, introduce fresh programming ideas, and improve the experience for our community. An outside entity may also bring in new connections and partnerships that could further support the long-term sustainability and growth of the theatre.

This initiative will be a community-led effort, with representatives from the Sunrise Theatre Advisory Board and the Sunrise Theatre Foundation actively participating as part of the evaluation committee. Through this process, the City of Fort Pierce aims to select a partner that supports the vision and values of the Sunrise Theatre, ensuring that it continues to be a vibrant cultural hub within our community while also fostering its long-term financial sustainability.
