A classic theatre that just recently closed down is the venerable Olympic Theatre in Cicero, IL. Now advertising office space, the Olympic's marquee still stands guard.

UPDATE 07/07 : We are re-opening the Olympic theatre in Cicero Illinois. We are going to have plays, bands and cinema production. We have remolded and added state of the art lighting and sound equipment. It will be available for rent during this summer. Many thanks to Jim Pontrelli for update. 07-07
