Calumet Theatre loses insurance, working toward new policy

Meeting Highlights

Calumet Theatre without insurance coverage, cancels December events

The previous underwriter of the Calumet Theatre has declined to renew the policy, leaving the building without insurance for events. As such, the theatre management was compelled to cancel all of their events for the month.

A lack of insurance is also considered a breach of the theatre lease. Daniel Jamison spoke on behalf of the theatre board. He told the village council that he had contacted a new insurance agency that specializes in covering theaters, and they were working toward a new policy.

Jamison also encouraged the council to issue a letter giving a 45-day notice of termination for the lease if insurance coverage was not obtained. The council concurred and voted to issue the letter.
