To Gail Brenneis Fenty: I am holding almost $250 worth of Paramount tickets that I was instructed by…Read More the previous management to hold on to.
I contacted Kurt Heitmann, who is one of the principals of Red House Entertainment, to ask if they would give me credit for my tickets. this was his reply: "we can honor your tickets. You can come to any show we have that is not sold out and on a first come first serve basis grab a seat. There will be a $5.00 service fee per ticket. Hope that helps."
What that means to me is this: I can not exchange my premium, fourth row, on the aisle tickets at the Paramount box office for a future show's comparably priced seats of my choice. And I should just "show up" on the night of a show that is hopefully not sold-out, and exchange my premium, fourth row, on the aisle tickets, plus an additional $5.00 per ticket, for whatever seats are available. Seats that may very well not be together, seats that may possibly have an obscured view.
I am not happy about this. I was a contributing patron of the Paramount in the past, but don't think I will be in the future if this is the way they intend to treat their supporters.

Chuck, give them time, they still haven't figured out what they are doing yet. You must remember…Read More they are a bunch of audio engineers with no experience in the arena they are in now. But look, at least we will get to see the Sisters of Graymore! Don't use up all your first come first serve seats at this one.
Do you really think someone like Mary Foster who is the smartest person in Peekskill would make a bad decision? Of course not, just ask the brain trust on the Common Council and the BID.

To C. Anderson: Doesn't look like they needed any time to think about the reply I got. In effect,…Read More they told me my pair of $234.50 tickets are just this side of worthless, and my history of being a contributing patron means nothing.
II'm willing to bet that there are many more people, like me, who were told to hang onto their tickets. They will be in for a rude awakening when they go to the box office to try to exchange them.

Dunham is the Obama orgasm commercial girl. She looks like she would fit in Peekskill with the…Read More "inked up in a wife beater t-shirt" look. I wouldn't be rushing down to grab a look like I did when Diane Lane was filming at the riverfront

what, mary foster and her posse didn't get to showcase their talent (lying).

If my memory serves, this was the group who mentioned how important it is to get the word out -- not…Read More operate in a silo but tell the world what is up in Peekskill.
Rehashing what is done, expressing dislike for the admin, in no way moves us forward.
I too am looking for ways to connect with these folks and lend support to help them succeed. The Paramount's FB page and website haven't been touched since Oct. so hopefully they'll get that moving so we can see and learn more.

that was a smoke screen, to get the other bidders to think he didn't like the admin. while working…Read More with them the whole time, how do you think he won the winning bid, it wasn't by luck

The criteria to have this go through with this group should be a place in the space for all local…Read More artist usage at a reduced rental rate (for those registered artists here who create the profile of Peekskill as an art center in the first place) such as: An art gallery, and a black box theatre/performance space - even if on stage, with proper lighting/sound/removable seating/wings for music, theatre and dance.

Here’s the facts: no one that has had any management/employment affiliation with The Paramount…Read More should have anything to do with the new Paramount! The business model as a whole needs to be entirely revisited. Whoever comes in I wish them well because I’d love to see this place remain intact and successful. I went to see Foreigner back in September for what was their Gala Fundraising Event and I believe the doors were locked a week later. It was my first and surprisingly last visit to this majestic theater.

I agree with you Kim. Now if we could just bring back cursive!

Funny piece, Bonnie. Personally, I always seem moved to wrestle with a bag of Twizzlers at the…Read More quietest, most tension filled scene in any movie. What can I say…Twizzlers have a calming effect on me.
I recount a similar experience, here.
