This one was taken out by a freeway! The Hwy 57/83 junction was where it stood on the NW part of the freeway aerial. The correct city and zip is Posen, IL 60469.

I went to this outdoor theater a few times with my parents in the late ‘50s, and remember its location being just west of Western Avenue and south of 147th street near Posen. The single screen was situated on the east end of the lot, facing west. It closed in the early '60s and was immediately demolished (Status s/b “Demolished”)as the land was acquired to build Interstate 57.
