Hello all, funny story I have about the Sheridan theater, I lived directly next door to it at 4032 N. Sheridan for 2 years in the 80s after it closed (which was a bit spooky!) My apartment was right next to it, and I could look out my windows to the side of this big ,old, dark theater. My cat got out one day, and entered the theater through a broken window. I was scared for some reason to get too close to the building, but I had to stay by this window yelling inside pleading with my cat to come out. She eventually did, but I will never know how far into the theater she actually went!
I went to a party at the Congress theater 2 days ago, it was great to be inside this landmark theater. All the seats on the main floor have been removed, and there was some damage to the domed ceiling that was visible from below. There are lots of great details that are still there though,like old signs , vent covers, and the big staircase to the upstairs balconies.
