I saw this earlier today (favorite Husker Du song, and maybe one of my favorite songs ever). I bring this up because at 1:50 you’ll see the Shea’s marquee up and running in all it’s retro neon-and-chasers glory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtD4DEoEiqY
Thanks for replying! No, Charlotte Bonini’s my instructor. I’ll call the gent in Galeton but see the description of the Lakeview here has it at 150+ seats and “my” church was meant for around 900 in just the sanctuary. From what I’ve seen, many aren’t happy about space in old theaters being subdivided—it seems to be an itchy topic. And from the preservation POV can’t say I blame them—I think it’s hard to divide many spaces in a sympathetic way. This wasn’t a theater but it’s tough to divide, it has a dome and while the ceiling’s not half as WOW factor as a similar former church on the east side of town with sky/clouds painted in the dome View link , I’m trying to figure out a way of dividing that respects the shape/layout/ceiling. FWIW, here’s the outside, in better days: View link and a more recent shot of the interior (No, not quite Kosher, and no 2, I didn’t take it): View link
Is NATO right about 450 seats as a good large size? Go smaller?
Good times…never forget the Alarm, Long Ryders opened up—I caught one of the records thrown into the audience (records, has it been that long) and saw the legendary Jane Scott. Remember OMD too, IIRC, Home and Garden opened up. God, I wish. What’s going on there right now? Anything?
Thanks, I need it. I’m in N. E. Ohio/Cleveland area. And you’re right about reversible changes; this being in the interior might make things easier.
