Rich and Cam,

Actually you can see the Uptown Theatre as it is today in the documentary “Uptown: Portrait of a Palace” by John Pappas and Michael Bisberg. It offers an extended look at the state of the theatre now – both good and bad.

It re-ran on Chicago PBS station WTTW11 this past weekend and is available to Comcast digital cable subscribers in the Chicago area under “Get Local –> WTTW OnDemand –> Image Union” through tomorrow. You can also purchase a copy from Compass Rose publishers at www.compassrose.org All proceeds from the sales go to promoting the restoration of the theatre and surrounding neighborhood.
