I'm writing something about the Utah Pantages Theatre, and came across this:
http://utahpantagestheatre.com/ just a proposal from someone about renovating the Pantages. Most of it we've seen before, including the vintage photos of the interior.
What I really love is this PDF, which shows a restored "sister" Pantages Theatre in Minneapolis. It restored in 2002, and is absolutely beautiful. If we could even approach this with a renovation/restoration? It would be jaw-dropping. Course, I have to assume the Minneapolis one wasn't as completely gutted/ripped into two auditoriums like ours was...but still. This is gorgeous:
http://utahpantagestheatre.com/wp-conten...ah-Pantages-Theatre-Mathews-Proposal.pdf The 100th Anniversary of the Pantages will be in 2018; How awesome would it be if they could have it restored by then? Or even announce then that they'll be restoring it? It's one of the local restoration projects that I'm most obsessed with.
...I don't know much about his numbers, or how realistic his proposal is. I just liked the pictures.
...and I just found this image gallery of the Minneapolis Pantages...if you want to drool some more -
