My husband and I just had our wedding ceremony on the Arcada’s stage on 10/30/04… I was shocked and saddened to hear that it has closed. I live in Chicago and we don’t get much suburban news, and a lot of the stories from the papers that covered it aren’t archived. If anyone has any more recent information, or would like any volunteer help to keep it from being turned into a Subway, please e-mail me at By the way, Todd Smith was wonderful to deal with; he really loved that theatre and did everything he could to keep it going.
