The sad thing is people here are choosing to say things in a ‘forum’ about people, not about the theatre, wrong place for back biting and grumbling, there are more then that showing, and your price is also wrong, your also not taking into account about the bands that are playing on Mondays and Tuesday, but then again as mentioned, it would seem most people here are only saying bad things about each other, not the theater, good luck you guys,
Havana IL recently opened one back up, it was built as a vaudeville theater back in 1912 and converted to art deco in 1943 Jack Lemmon was even there, and the theatre bosts the picture in the lobby, Its called the Lawford and living here, its a great redo of a older theatre, they show first and second run on 500 seats, LOTS of nice rope ceramic around stage and roof.
thanks! there are many more good comments from other papers even after the theatres grand re-opening,, i think 4 news papers reported on it, the town sure is happy!
Cinema Treasures is very nice but i have noticed some articles that well, is quite bad for the site. This site is for the preservation and other important work for theaters but i noticed in your section Lawford Theater, there are a number of people using it for a forem where they lash out at each other,, there is nothing productive about that, and i dont agree with letting that kind of badgering to be on here. There is also mention of a new couple buying and running it and doing lots of work on it, also, its showing closed when in fact, its open,,, just something i wanted to say, thanks!
I would like to say that there has been a nice couple with 2 children that recently took over the Lawford, they have put in about $18,000 of there own money to help the theatre and the town. They have not asked anyone for anything and have updated the projectors, the sound system, the carpeting, new concessions, lighting and so forth. I truly believe that the people of Havana this time have someone thats not going to open and then close for lack of a bulb,,(that was sad). I am not sure about all the mumbo jumbo that has been previously put here, but if you really want to see what is going on now, go see the new re-opened Lawford. Even the neon that was there is lit again, not to mention the ceiling lights are on again that i have heard have not been lit in 25 years!
These people before they even opened, put money into it!
I do hope that this time, more positive comments will come here and folks see what a family can do without asking people for money and such. The new theatres number is 309-543-1225 Here to the new owners in hoping you succeed! thank you.
