MARION THEATRE

The Marion Theatre was built in 1940 by E.J. Sparks and the project was overseen by Roy A. Benjamin, Jacksonville architect, who lived in Ocala, Florida as a boy. The Magnolia site purchased for the Movie Palace was one of the historic corners of Ocala's business district at the time. The Marion Theatre is located in the heart of Downtown Ocala and is a rare example of a Streamlined Modern Art Deco movie house.

In December 1986 the theatre was donated to the City by James E. Kirk, Jr., former Ocala Mayor, former president of the Chamber of Commerce and owner of WMOP. The City of Ocala votes in December 2003 (5/5) to enter a long-term lease with the Marion Film & Visual Arts Foundation, Inc. to restore the Marion Theatre to its original intended purpose, a Movie House.

January 2004
The Marion Film & Visual Arts Foundation, Inc. begins a $1 million dollar fundraising campaign to fund the restoration, as close to its original state, including state of the art equipment and seating. In 2006, with sponsorship dollars, along with the help from Lee Farkas and state grants, the MFVAF has raised funds in the amount of $1.5 million dollars. A request for proposals was submitted to find a contractor for the project. Bids and interest from several construction companies are received.
