Yeah, it would be very very very hard to save the interior, it is very dilapidated, sadly I didnt think the interior would ever survive, even though I have never seen the interior I heard it is real bad. Its great its coming to life though
denise be sure to submit us news on the renovation! Also I have changed the name to La Vogue Theatre, since that will be the name once you restore it. Once again thanks for you help.
May I say they have the worst management there. 2 People working, 1 ticket booth, one concession stand, all the time. You get the worst service. I asked for a refill on my popcorn not knowing that they didn’t have refills, and they played games. Worst ever..
I would like to thank JIm for sending me the documentary, I enjoyed the documentary very much thanks. Here is a review:
I have already seen this documentary twice and I am ready to watch this again. This documentary is for everyone, most importantly Cinerama fans, theater buffs, history buffs, preservers, and the citizens of Omaha. The movie goes from beginning to end of the theater with very informative information, with great narration, and a little music here and there create an exciting documentary for everyone. You never know what will happen in the movie one minute to the next. It also creates awareness of how the city of Omaha doesn’t care about it’s history and how greedy corporations can takeover the world if we don’t do anything about it. This documentary really shows how hard it is to save a unique 60’s theater compared to a 20’s theater just because it doesn’t have marble arches or doesn’t have the same ornate style. This shows how everyday the world gets taken away, for something that doesn’t get done as promised.
Wow definitely a gem! Thanks for the pics Sean Ryan! here is a link to the site you gave us with the current view of the exterior: http://www.phototour.minneapolis.mn.us/898
So the theater will be demo’d? I encourage everyone to rally in the area, petition, chain yourself around the building! Do whatever we can do, we cant be losing things like these!
It’s different the architect named the theater after him, makes me wanna become an architect!
Pokey, this site is a couple of years old so yeah the info does get a little out dated sometimes, but I’ll be glad to update it now for you.
Wow Ed the place looks great. thanks for the photographs, it looks great inside there!

Charles the storefronts were later filled in for restrooms, not auditoriums.

Great plans Roger, if there is a buyer you should present them with that information, it could save it.
