Here is a recent view of the Sun.
I shot some pictures of the Sun. View them here from 10/11/2008.
Good news. There is an entertainment company that has the Sun under contract. Plans call for restoring it for a music and entertainment venue.
Here is another photo of the Sun Theater.
I haven’t heard anymore about it. You could contact Grand Center Inc. in St. Louis and ask them about it!! Let us know what you find out.
A bit of a distortion to say the theatre “had two floors for different uses.” The auditorium consisted of the main floor and a balcony. There was a lecture hall on the second floor; however this was in the area behind the balcony and above the main lobby.
It was announced that an arts school may restore the Sun theatre as its main performance space in the near future.
I drove by the Sun last night and the marquee was lit. I took pictures if anyone is interested.
The Western wall has been repaired!! There is serious talk of restoration occurring in the near future. Does anyone else have informnation on this??
