Louis was completely surprised by this note on the Theatre Decatur website….

We regret to inform you that Theatre Decatur will be closing indefinitly, effective December 14, 2008. There is no further information at this time.

Anyone have background on this?

See The New Opera perform their original work An American Story: George Gershwin on Friday Oct 19th and Saturday Oct 20th at 8p at Theatre Decatur (420 West Trinity Place, Decatur).
