SENATOR Theatre’s Kiefaber in Tell-All Interview

Tom Kiefaber return appearance to WCMB’s Tom Marr Show today at 11:30AM may prove to be more revealing than others.

Fellow blogger, Astrogirl, has published part 1 of a no-holds barred interview with the 20 year owner of The Senator Theatre.

The SENATOR's Kiefaber paints a broader picture in extensive interview: The situation is being badly bungled, and what is happening over all is a corrupt outrage with a virulent grudge at its core.

In this piece Kiefaber breaks his silence about city officials, their maneuverings, their deals that have kept “uncharacteristically mum” and details about how/why the nearly 70 year old theatre is headed to a foreclosure auction on July 22nd.

Until recently my family was in too precarious a position for me to be forthcoming and publicly discuss the situation with The Senator and what’s taking place behind the scenes. While we’re still stuck in an agonizing double-bind, The Senator’s future is also precarious, the situation is being badly bungled, and what is happening over all is a corrupt outrage with a virulent grudge at its core. It’s madness really when you examine what’s happening, who planned it and why, and the rush to get there. The bottom line is, this homie don’t play that.

With this much at stake I’ve come to terms with the fact that it’s now or never, so it’s time to speak up and assess the situation from our perspective. For years the prudent advice I’ve received has indicated that if I ever really “go there” and publicly relate what’s really gone on between me and a small group of these characters from my perspective that I would surely lose ownership of The Senator in the process. Well, that’s no longer an issue at this juncture. What’s at stake now is not my ownership of The Senator, because that should change. The critical issue is will The Senator and its future ownership entity be not-for-profit and oriented towards the arts, education and the extended community, or from a commercial development perspective. That crucial difference is not well understood, and it should be, because there’s so much at stake for all concerned at this fork in the road.

Get yourself a nice beverage, sit back and read part 1 of this extensive interview for yourself.
