米尔斯伯勒百年老剧院将重开：米尔顿剧院团队接手，目标2027年迎客
特拉华州苏塞克斯县米尔斯伯勒市消息，米尔斯伯勒市10月26日发布宣传视频宣布，市中心历史悠久的米尔斯通剧院（前身为鲍尔剧院）已被米尔顿剧院背后的团队收购，将修复后于2027年重新开放。剧院位于主街214号，已空置多年。接手方 PCA Productions 的负责人弗雷德·蒙泽特表示，团队将全力修复这座场馆，尽快重新开门，愿景是为整个地区打造一个充满活力的多元现场娱乐之家，让每个人都能找到适合自己的演出。
米尔斯伯勒市长鲍勃·麦基在声明中说，市里已有餐馆与零售业，但一直缺少一个真正的核心 anchor，一座剧院正是推动市中心再开发的关键。他表示，看到米尔顿剧院取得的成功与巨大的经济影响后，他立刻意识到这座场馆的潜力。鲍尔剧院开业于1937年，当时设有478个座位、楼座、小卖部与现场演出舞台。剧院于1971年关闭，2016年由现任业主夫妇购入。米尔顿剧院的成功经验被视为米尔斯伯勒复制文化 anchor 模式的参照，修复工程的具体时间表与首演阵容尚未公布。
Century-old Millsboro theater to reopen: Milton Theatre team takes over, targeting 2027 opening
Millsboro, Sussex County, Delaware — The town of Millsboro released a promotional video on Oct. 26 announcing that the historic Millstone Theatre downtown (formerly the Ball Theatre) has been acquired by the team behind the Milton Theatre and will be restored and reopened in 2027. The theater, at 214 Main Street, has sat vacant for years. Fred Munzert of PCA Productions, the acquiring team, said they will restore the venue fully and reopen it as soon as possible, with a vision of a vibrant, diverse live-entertainment home for the whole region where everyone can find a show for them.
Millsboro Mayor Bob McKee said in a statement that the town already has restaurants and retail but has lacked a true anchor, and that a theater is exactly the key to driving downtown redevelopment. He said that after seeing the Milton Theatre's success and enormous economic impact, he immediately recognized the venue's potential. The Ball Theatre opened in 1937 with 478 seats, a balcony, a concession stand and a live-performance stage. It closed in 1971 and was bought in 2016 by the current owners. The Milton Theatre's success is seen as the model for Millsboro to replicate the cultural-anchor formula; a detailed restoration timetable and opening lineup have not been announced.
