For years now, the old art-deco movie house has stood as a testament to a bygone era. Aside from the occasional movie premiere, filling the 900+ seat theater has been a challenge. Competition from your big 24 screen multiplexes is more efficient, and the Senator Theater in Baltimore, MD has had trouble paying it's bills recently.
1st Mariner Bank of Baltimore is now planning on Foreclosing on the historic theater at 10am on April 20th, 2009. This is not the first time the Senator has faced financial difficulties, and as of March 16th, the theater has stopped showing movies until a resolution can be made.
In the meantime, the theater's management are desperately angling to save the theater. Please donate to The Senator Community Trust, which is working to raise money to bring the loan current and eventually purchase The Senator. The Senator is a cultural and historical landmark for Maryland, and it needs to be preserved!
