When I was younger I went to late night parties, CIFF events, film premieres, and other things at that theatre. It was where you could catch obscure anime films on the big screen (midnight showings FTW!)
In addition to oil and gas, it has a pivotal place in Calgary's arts and entertainment history too. Just want to raise awareness and I hope the Uptown has a presence in the redesigned Barron going forward.

I'm not aware of the theatre being part of the new plan, but I wish it was. It was a cool theatre.
