One of Chicago’s best-loved movie theaters will be shut down for a month this summer for an extensive renovation aimed at enhancing patrons’ experience and preserving its historic charm.
The Music Box Theater in Lakeview, an architectural gem and neighborhood anchor since 1929, will undergo the renovation to address wear and tear accumulated over its 95-year history."We’re gonna kind of give a little makeover to our lovely old, old 95-year-old space," said Ryan Oestreich, General Manager of the Music Box Theater. "It needs to be modernized, but not in a way we’re going to lose anything. The aesthetics are going to be exactly how it was back in 1929.
During the closure, a small side theater and the Music Box Garden, an outdoor theater showing movies every night during the summer, will remain open.The renovation project, estimated to cost around $750,000, will be partly funded by sponsoring the new seats and selling the ones being replaced."We’re going to have a seat plaque. So basically for the life of that seat you can have your name, your family‘s name or a great movie quote. You can buy one of our old seats.
