We are already forced to support that money pit in our tax bills.
How much money does that place cost us each year? I would rather have more police on the street (and NOT on horseback either). Getting rather sick of the bands of thugs roaming the streets.

The "Friends" are a non-profit, 501c3 organization, run solely on private donations. The organization has been supporting quality programming and promotion of the Genesee for the past 29 years. It was a well-run, philanthropic group dedicated to assisting the theatre in hosting quality entertainment.
The "Friends of the Genesee Theatre" was the organization that 100% funded the film equipment to "bring back" movies that the Genesee! Way to go!
If you're interested in receiving updates on theatre history, membership benefits and upcoming performances, be sure to "Become a Fan" on Facebook!

Jazmin and Frank,
While I agree with some of your points, don't hijack this thread for a Genesee rant.
For all it's problems, it's still one of the few good things this city has left.
