***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** The plans are still under review. This petition is still active. We need to keep gathering as many signatures as possible! Pass it on!


TO THE MALIBU CITY COUNCIL: I live in Malibu and care about having music, art and culture present and available in our community, and I oppose the removal of seats in the theatre at the new city hall. The Malibu City Council will soon vote on whether to remove half the seats in the beautiful, sophisticated 500-seat theatre that is housed in the new city hall building, formerly Malibu Performing Arts Center. Removing the seats will destroy the theatre and render it useless as both a live concert venue and a recording studio. We have a valuable community asset in this theatre and recording studio, paid for with our tax dollars. It would be a crime to let it be needlessly ruined and not take full advantage of what we have by offering a multitude of artistic and cultural events and activities to all members of the Malibu community, as well as generating much-needed revenue for the city. Your signature on this petition is a vote in support of music, art and culture and sends a message to the Malibu City Council about responsible spending and keeping promises. Don't allow short-sighted actions today create an absence of possibilities for tomorrow. If we do not act and speak now, we as a community will be forever doomed to wonder about, and be reminded of, what we COULD have had. Let your voice be heard. (P.S. This petition is free - you do not have to pay to sign. And your email will remain anonymous.)

500 seats is the perfect size. Removing them makes zero sense for live music. Very frustrated with the council right now.

This is ridiculous. Why spend all that money just to tear it apart later? We need this space for our kids.

Malibu is losing its soul. Keep the seats and let the artists perform. Stop wasting our tax dollars on these stupid ideas.

The theatre is one of the best things we have in this town. Please dont ruin it by cutting the capacity in half.
