Also I suggest we keep this thread open until the deadline so we can share stuff if we like. We can then close it the day of submissions when we start a new thread.

Hardly anyone would complain if the theatre reverted to the Walker name. It only changed sometime maybe in the late 90s as the theatre, which was run by a non-profit group at the time, was struggling to survive. They renamed it and Burton was going to play a series of fundraising benefits but I think he only played once or something and that was it.

But details aside, the point is that no one in Winnipeg is too wedded to the Burton Cummings name.
