I went by the Village Theatre earlier tonight. Barricades are up. They might be doing something to the old girl. Stay tuned.

Here's an example of what can be done to a long-forgotten movie theatre. The Oakwyn Theatre on W. Roosevelt Road in Berwyn closed its doors around 1951. It was then used as a teamsters hall for several years. Now it's going to re-open as an entertainment venue. I hope something like this can happen to the Village Theatre.

The transformation of one of Berwyn's empty brick buildings into a promising new music venue is just what Bill FitzGerald likes to see, even if it creates competition for his business.

The Patio Theater will no longer show Hollywood movies, but focus on classic films and special events.
