Historic St. Boniface Church Is Now Ivory Theatre

And the historic church building is now to host theatrical performances with the first being "Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll" by New Line Theatre.

Several articles have been written and posted about this, from the RetroCatholic blog, on Improper Use of Sold Churches to a South Side Journal article here.

It's unclear to me what conditions were made regarding the sale of the property to outside commercial interests. As the picture demonstrates, it still looks like a church from the outside regardless of the name attached to it. It must be a heartbreaking experience for those who grew up in this church to have to witness such actvities going on now.

HT to Marcus and PK who both advised me on this matter.
