Considering that we have been open for a short three years we are attracting large audiences and generous donations. We are closing in on the completion of our capital campaign used to purchase and renovate the 1939 building of the West Shore Theatre (WST). We expect to have all loans paid in full by early 2026. This years operating budget exceeds our projections. We continue to expand our program offerings, including the first full year of Theatre-arts education classes for youth, pre-school through 8th grade. Classes are fully subscribed, and additional sessions have been added. Movies are offered both 1st run and a wide repertoire of classic films. Local and nationally recognized musical groups are being featured, often sold out several weeks in advance of shows We served audiences of over 25,000 in 2024-2025. Programs also include Improv, puppet shows, sensory respectful movies, and much more. The theatre is available for rentals for parties, meetings and more. WST partners with community groups to feature Veterans honors, Easter Friday Service, New Cumberland Borough planning unveiling, The Collective and more. Last year the theatre received several awards: Best Movie Theatre by Pennlive.com, PA and Best Theatre in Susquehanna Styles 2024 Best of Dauphin and Cumberland County Awards. We were thrilled to be chosen to receive the 2024 Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Award Preservation Award: Leadership Award-Public Impact. (Public Impact Excellence in using a historic building as a catalyst to enrich the community.) They also featured us in the Preservation Magazine Winter 2025, How 6 Historic Movie Theatres Maintain the Magic of the Big Screen. During fiscal year 2025-2026 we will be planning for a second capital campaign to build and addition at the rear of WST historic building to provide such needed spaces as a Green Room, an intimate small theatre, and more. 810880 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 46 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false true true true false false true true true true false false false false false PA X X Christine Leukus 7177747436 414 Bridge Street New Cumberland PA 17070 X Donald Kibler Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gennifer Richie Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gib Parthemore Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeff Gelburd Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Huber Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brad Fisher Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Donald Schell Jr Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Leukus Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Burke Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David H Stone President 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Kelly Secretary 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claire Mulhardt Vice President 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 67750 318284 19848 386034 Program Revenue 713990 858778 858778 858778 44 44 67750 0 1244856 858822 0 0 X 191920 114890 16878 60152 6186 3031 1237 1918 19289 13502 3858 1929 18352 14098 4254 394186 366803 18350 9033 86147 84065 2082 102317 100742 1575 112214 111344 870 9245 2405 3975 2865 939856 810880 49422 79554 X 169346 151896 3272819 335702 3003945 2937117 3173291 3089013 1478 224 625322 282583 626800 282807 X 2546491 2806206 2546491 2806206 3173291 3089013 X 305000 -45285 X false false false X 255554 917315 582043 1112498 386034 3253444 68527 468572 725687 858778 2121564 33148 33148 255554 1018990 1050615 1838185 1244812 5408156 0 0 0 0 0 0 5408156 669 314 12 209 44 1248 669 314 12 209 44 1248 8180 8180 256223 1027484 1050627 1838394 1244856 5417584 0.99830 0.99790 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 78125 78125 328449 2060708 152793 2236364 759213 174173 585040 4350 41974 8736 37588 2937117 Summer Dance 47700 47700 4382 599 Paver Projec 17000 17000 6199 1 3050 3050 67750 67750 4382 6798 11180 56570 Member election for additional members Part VI line 7a The governing body of the FOTWST may elect to expand the Board of Directors as needed.
