Karen Noonan, the President of the Theatre Historical Association of America wrote this letter to the Mayor regarding the BDC and the Senator RFP process. She wants theater preservation experts to guide the BDC's plans for the Senator. I have been told that Ms. Noonan agreed to serve on the RFP panel and represent her large membership base of historic theatre aficionados and professionals with the proviso that the BDC does not consider her a historic theatre redevelopment professional of the type she feels is required to successfully plan and manage the transition of The Senator to its new incarnation. These established professionals have guided many other high profile iconic historic theatre redevelopment projects across the nation in the last 30 years.
