A new grassroots effort has begun in Barrington, Illinois to save the historic and popular Catlow Theater. Supporters are asking local residents to sign a petition asking village officials to become more involved in the Catlow’s preservation and conversion into an arts and community center.
The deadline for signatures will be Wednesday, August 15th and the petition will then be presented to village officials at their August 16th meeting. Petitions are currently located at the Catlow Theater (112-16 W. Main St.) and inside Boloney’s Sandwich Shop (114 W. Main St.) More locations around town will be announced shortly.
According to the Catlow Theater (http://www.nbeat.com/catlow/), “The village needs to know that there is support for this effort from within the community before they will act. This is your chance to show your support and help preserve Barrington’s favorite historic treasure.”
The tudor revival Catlow is one of the few remaining single-screen theaters in the area and, rarer still, it is still showing movies on one of the larger screens around.
