Lots of new news on the Parkway Theater (which is now called Pepito's Parkway Theater, according to the website):
Renovations have begun, and just this week they brought in some University of Minnesota students to design murals on the interior walls, which an insider tells me will look fabulous when they are complete.
They've got the finals of the 48th Street Poetry Slam this Saturday, March 8, at 9:30pm.
They're currently playing award-winners Taxi to the Darkside (Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature) and La Vie en Rose (Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Makeup), along with a Saturday matinee of the original Charlotte's Web (1973, featuring the voices of Debbie Reynolds, Paul Lynde and Danny Bonaduce, among others).
The Parkway will be a Fringe Fest site for 2008, so you can see some of that Fringe-y goodness at 48th and Chicago.
And at some point this spring, it sounds like they will be featuring live comedy, perhaps on a weekly basis. The folks behind the Parkway are committed to making it a multi-use arts space, so they will be hosting films, theater productions, and live performances. And keep in mind that you can take your drinks from next-door Pepito's into the theater.
