| Very sad news indeed. It was a wonderful venue. I have great memories of seeing shows there. (Also a brief backstage visit, delivering a snow-drop mechanism a friend of mine had designed for the "Angels in America" tour.) What a horrible blow to the Chicago theatre community. | |

| Chicago has (had?...hopefully the pandemic hasn't destroyed it all) so many wonderful small itinerant theatre companies, I wonder if it might be possible for several of these companies to join together to save the Royal George as a performance venue and then make a home there for themselves? | |

| Maybe they can raise it a floor and put retail at street level. | |

| I imagine the land is far more valuable with a multi-story building than keeping 4 theaters. Maybe they can get the new construction to contain a theater or two—that would be better than retail. | |
