The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre welcomes “Fickling
Construction” as its newest Corporate Partner. Though their Corporate Partnership with the
Theatre is new, President of Fickling Construction, Alan Fickling, has been a
supporter since 2012. "My family
and Fickling Construction have enjoyed Florida Theatre for many years. We are happy to support the Florida Theatre
and the variety of performances they bring to our great city throughout the
year," said Fickling." Our
company has been part of Jacksonville for more than 50 years. We're committed to the city and North
Florida, and we're proud to have this partnership with Florida
Theatre."
“The historic Florida Theatre is pleased to play its part in providing
Northeast Florida with the music, dance and theatre programs that are part of
what gives Jacksonville the unique character that we have all come to
appreciate, and expect, as residents of a great city,” said Florida Theatre
President, Numa Saisselin. “The
theatre earns 85% of its annual budget from its business activities, and
support from the business community, like our Corporate Partner, Fickling
Construction, helps to close that small budget gap every year and keep the
Florida Theatre and its programs something special for our community.”
The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First
Credit Union. For a complete list of upcoming events or to buy tickets visit
