About this Article

The Des Plaines city council Tuesday night granted the Des Plaines Theatre a 13-month extension to bring the building into compliance with city and state fire safety codes. The city's building code committee had recommended the council give the theater a six-month extension on its temporary occupancy permit so operators could address issues such as its curtain not being fire resistant, the lack of a sprinkler system by the stage and issues with the boiler and furnace rooms.
