About this Article

The Des Plaines city council next week will discuss code compliance issues at the Des Plaines Theatre that could threaten its continued operation. The city's building code committee last week recommended that the city council give the theater a six-month extension on its temporary occupancy permit so its operators could address problems such as its curtain not being fire resistant, the lack of a sprinkler system by the stage area, and issues with the boiler room and furnace room, among other concerns.
