Hey guys,
The Skokie theatre was renovated by my mother, Ann Clark, who is an architect. She and my father are the principals of Nicholas Clark Architects, www.nicholasclarkarch.com The reason that the sign wasn’t restored how it was before renovation began is because the old sign had vinyl siding on the sides of it, it barely lit up, there was no “Skokie” lettering on top and the curve in the front of the signage was non-existent. Just so you know (Brian Wolf), it is completely in proportion with the building, you probably just aren’t used to the new curve on the sign. The sign has not been simplified; it is extremely close to how it originally looked (click the link to see the original marquee) View link Something had to be done with the theatre, now it has superb lighting and sound equipment and has been re-structured so that the space is acoustically correct. Come and see a show there some day, you will hear and see the difference. This project has benefited the Skokie theatre because now we know that it will not get knocked down for a long time.
