I’m confident that I was one of the last “speulunkers” to gain access to the building prior to being sealed up (finally) by the owners.
Tivoli remained wide open for many months, allowing an incredibly disrespectful vagrant to call the theatre his home. He did diguisting amounts of damage.. including using the theatre as a safe haven to fuel his own drug addiction.
In the offices, he nailed up boards in the doorways, so if any intruders came in, they would be forced take the long way around to the only entrance.. where he could confront you, or hide. He destoyed Loren Liberman’s old office, and used that as his bedroom.. the place smelled disguisting, with rotten sheets, beer bottles and cigarette butts lying all over the place. He also drew on the walls with terrible graffitti.
He had a pair of bricks setup outside the side doors (which were unlocked).. they were leaned up against the door when he wasn’t home. That way, when he returned home and the bricks were out of place, he knew somebody was inside, and took any needed actions.
Finally, in mid-April, the theatre was sealed up by the owners. It’s closed, but still accessible by anyone who has enough desire to get in.
It’s quite depressing, and disguisting at the same time.
