A small movie theater in Pryor OK was just restored in the last couple 
years. I do not have actual contact but Pryor Chamber of Commerce probably 
could supply some contact names and your theater people could inquire of 
them about their financing/fundraising. A much larger project in Miami OK 
has been going for some time.  It is the Coleman Theatre and they can be 
found on-line.  Right now they are fundraising to pay for replacement 
seating through a sponsor-a-chair(s) campaign.  A certain high school class 
has thrown out a challenge to its members as part of the seating project.
