Bill Edwards, CEO of Big 3 Entertainment, appeared before the St. Petersburg City Council on Thursday, requesting an extension and modification to the company’s management agreement for the Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater, which Big 3 has overseen since 2011.
The theater, originally built in 1965, underwent renovations in 1987 – when it was renamed the Mahaffey – and again in 2005. But after sustaining significant damage from back-to-back hurricanes last year, Edwards told council members that urgent repairs are needed.
