Fundraisers galore were set up in their name but it wasn’t enough. A PFPA press release has more info: If you’ve been following our struggle over the last few months you know that we as the managers and creators of the 941 Theater have been fighting the city to re-open the theater. With the public’s support and donations, we raised nearly half of our initial goal, but we’ve also been shut down for nearly two months and right now it looks like it will be at least another two. At this point we can say that the 941 Theater will not reopen in 2009 and that is sad. It’s sad for us, the PFPA, who have worked on the theater for over three years and it’s sad for the people of the city who embraced the theater and made it their own. However there is an incredible silver lining to this story. The mission of the Philadelphia Friends of the Projected Arts will continue at 2424 studios with regular movie screenings!
