Pending Eviction?


Phone has been ringing off the hook. Local art organizations notifying artists... a rally of sorts... picket signs, press conference... today 4pm in front of the Capitol Theatre.

The Theatre dangerously in the red, looks like either the city will take it over or it will declare bankruptcy.

“The evils of government are directly proportional to the tolerance of the people.” - Frank Kent

D’Studio, my wonderful little home away from home is situated upstairs at the Capitol... wave hello... I’m in the second bank of windows from the right... for now anyway.

The Capitol Theatre opened New Years Eve 1920. It was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, who also designed the Pantages and the Elgin Winter Garden Theatres in Toronto.

Will the Capitol Theatre be added to the list of lost Windsor landmarks? Will I be evicted from D’Studio? Can Underdog save the day? Stay tuned...
