Prospector Theater

 The Prospector is a wonderful theater with multiple movie screens.  It opened in 2014 when rescued from demolition by Valerie Jensen, who saw the theater as a way of providing paid employment for adults with disabilities.  It celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024

At least 75 percent of the Prospector's employees self-identify as disabled.  They are called "Prospects."  Prospects are paid for working at the Prospector, and they "Sparkle." 

Happy anniversary!  Well done.
