(FOWST) was remarkably successful both programmatically and financially. The West Shore Theatre (WST) has been open for a short four years and is attracting large audiences and generous donations. The original capital campaign was concluded in 2026, paying off the mortgage and all loans associated with the purchase and renovation of the 1939 Theatre. The entire building is referred to as The Robert and Beverly Fowler Center. This years revenue exceeded projections. FOWST continues to expand our program offerings including year-round, fully subscribed theatre-arts education classes for pre-school through 8th grade youth. Movies offered include both first run and a wide repertoire of classic films. Local and nationally recognized musical groups are being featured which are often sold-out weeks in advance. Over 25,000 patrons attended Theatre performances during 2025-2026. Other entertainment includes improv comedy, puppet shows, and sensory respectful movies. West Shore Theatre is available for rentals for parties, meetings and community events. WST often partners with community groups to host events such as Veterans honor events, Easter Friday Service, and New Cumberland Borough community meetings. Last year WST received several awards: Best Movie Theatre by Pennlive.com and the Best Theatre in Susquehanna Styles 2025 Best of Dauphin and Cumberland County Awards. The Friends were thrilled to be chosen to receive the 2025 Pennsylvania Historic Preservation Award reservation Award: Leadership Award-Public Impact. (Public Impact Excellence in using a historic building as a catalyst to enrich the community.) This award led to a feature article in the Preservation Magazine Winter 2025, How 6 Historic Movie Theatres Maintain the Magic of the Big Screen. During the upcoming fiscal year 2026-2027 FOWST is adding live theatre productions to our lineup and continues plans to add an addition to provide an intimate small theatre, a green room, and a multipurpose meeting space. 1046020 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 4 0 true 24 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true 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 317 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 5.00 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 7.00 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 97550 5400 357774 20019 460724 Program Revenue 713990 968472 968472 968472 4911 4911 97550 0 1434107 973383 0 0 X 214460 123903 31363 59194 3791 2085 1327 379 20550 11302 7192 2056 20437 9197 4700 6540 646 646 482384 482384 56706 56706 64000 58231 4783 986 163477 163477 14839 14839 116680 115955 725 12699 7941 3701 1057 1170669 1046020 54437 70212 X 151896 298057 3274981 452382 2937117 2822599 3089013 3120656 224 7112 282583 10400 282807 17512 X 2806206 3103144 2806206 3103144 3089013 3120656 X 263438 33500 X false false false X 917315 582043 1112498 386034 395645 3393535 68527 468572 725687 858778 968471 3090035 33148 33148 1018990 1050615 1838185 1244812 1364116 6516718 0 0 0 0 0 0 6516718 314 12 209 44 4911 5490 314 12 209 44 4911 5490 8180 8180 1027484 1050627 1838394 1244856 1369027 6530388 0.99790 0.99830 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 78125 78125 328449 2062870 208143 2183176 759213 234173 525040 4350 41974 10066 36258 2822599 Summer Dance Paver Projec 1 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.
