Article in todays Star Ledger reported that the permit was issued on Monday, and hours later heavy equipment was there tearing it down. Very very sad indeed.

Sadly, I’ve heard it is being demolished this week, but haven’t verified that info.

The theater now appears to be doomed; the City Council has overuled the recommendation of its own Historic Preservation Commission and taken the matter away from the Zoning Board which had been holding hearings on the matter. Story here: View link.

Ugh what a sad ending to a great theater. And to think the Frank company is opening yeat another theater.(see the news from a few days ago)

Here is an update; things are rather dismal – the not-for-profit that ran the theater is out of funds, and the city is demanding a loan it made to the foundation be repaid; the foundation is also being sued by Frank Theatres. Story here: View link

A glimpse of the interior of the Beach Theatre appeared as the frontispiece to the Modern Theatre section of Boxoffice, November 4, 1950.

Thanks, the “Live” will get added to functions, likely within a day or two.

lostmemory on October 20, 2008 at 9:32 am

Absolutely. Here is an article about a musical at the Beach 4.

According to the theater site, they are also presenting live performances. That should be added as a function.
