SPIN

Pete Wentz calls this his favorite movie theater because it's quirky and different with a little bit of a history. Bank robber John Dillinger was killed here by the FBI in 1934.

Jake Smith

Aside from stage productions, this theater also has intimate poetry or book readings. Check with the box office for more info on the variety of things you could potentially see.

Comfortable seats , the only "obstructed" views are of the play has action deep in the wings, and you're in the last 2 seats of the row up high.

Get there at least 10 mins early, grab a drink at their bar , and don't be the last in line to get in the theater . It's an intimate auditorium and usually open seating !

If you see a dame in red, High Fidelity taught me she more than likely tipped off her boyfriend John to get killed by a few G men

HISTORY

Notorious bank robber John Dillinger had been declared "Public Enemy #1" by the FBI. In 1934 the feds waited for him outside this theater & shot him multiple times before he died in a nearby alleyway.

Women are crazy cuz men are A-sholes was a hilarious show. Bring your crude humor and leave the kids at home;)
