movie. She said she didn’t see why not and we went up there
and watched it. The movie was great and we enjoyed it so
much. As a child, I found this a learning experience.
As the city changed and new theaters opened, sadly
the Sunrise was no longer the only theater in town. It
eventually became obsolete and struggled to compete.
Luckily, the downtown area revitalized and some great local
organizations like Main Street Fort Pierce and investors
realized the potential and revitalized this beautiful historical
place, returning it to its former glory.
Since then I, have seen some amazing concerts and shows
there and it continues to bring in great events that never
disappoint. This small, personal venue continues to fill the seats.
Sunrise Theater will always hold a special place in my
heart. I always look forward to browsing its beautiful glossy
playbill and planning the shows my wife and I will enjoy for
the upcoming season. I hope it will continue to operate and
carry on its legacy for many years.

THIRD PLACE WINNER
Memory from 2012
Our fondest memory was attending the Tony
Bennett concert on Sunday March 18, 2012. After
delivering an exceptional concert, Tony came to the
front of the stage to address the audience.
“You have such a wonderful facility here,” he
to us. “This was the type of venue where I started
performing.”
He asked the sound technician to turn off all of
the amplification. He then sang a favorite song, but
I do not remember the title, without the band or
amplification to highlight the acoustical feature of
the Sunrise.
A spectacular moment to witness.
