Boedecker theater at Boulder Dairy wrought with controversy and fraud
Mar 6th
SUNDAY EDITORIAL: by Jann Scott
Did George Boedecker know that he funded a theater that is wrought with controversy?? Maybe not.
“The Dairy Center for the Arts includes a brand new state-of-the-art cinema. The 60-seat art theater features independent film and broadcasts of live opera and other performing arts. Plush and spacious seats in The Boe will offer high-quality cinema viewing with access to traditional movie theater refreshments, snacks, beer and wine. The theater will also accommodate live performances and programs.” dairy center
What makes it controversial is that the theater wing was originally built with Comcast franchise fees to house public access TV for all Boulder citizens to come in and make their own video and film productions for free. $225,000 worth of 1995 dollars. Then $300,000 dollars was alloted annually by Comcast for the operation of the facility for the length of the franchise agreement. The wing was not supposed to be privatized and taken over by the city to be turned into a snooty elite international film series venue.The people of Boulder have been ripped offed, raped and duped by the Daily Center and the Boulder City council. Boedecker and his financial buddy Richard Polke made millions in their initial investment into Crocks. Now they have formed an unholy alliance to build this theater. Polke who is president of the of the dair
from Westwordy hated Public Access TV as did his girl friend Sue Deans former editor of the Daily Camera. The two of them tried to control free speech at public access TV for years and when they couldn’t do that the killed it and then put in their very own private movie theater that few people will use .In addition Boulder already has an arts cinema on campus. Maybe you have heard of it. International Film series. So now we have two at the tax payers expense and we have no public access TV which was paid for by Comcast. This is more proof that the city and the rich elite who run our local government absolutley “Hate Free Speech””It was a gleam in our eye just eighteen months ago,” Harris says of the new theater, which was funded largely by donations, including a major one by the Boedecker Foundation. Fitted with hi-tech projection and audio systems (in order to compete, Harris notes, with the high quality home video equipment now available), the venue is programmed largely by sentient committee rather than by a single curator. “They’ree all local cinephiles — the people who live and breathe movies,” Harris says. And the Boedecker also boasts a liquor license, which allows moviegoers the opportunity to buy wine and beer at the concession stand. What more could you want?” Westword
“Construction of the cinema, housed in the wing that formerly housed a public television studio at the Dairy, began last fall. But the idea to bring an art-house cinema with state-of-the-art technology to Boulder was hatched in 2009.” daily camera
