With the recent flurry of downtown redevelopment, renovation of the long-vacant Clyde Theatre, located on Fort Wayne's south side is going full speed ahead.
Rick Kinney, founder of Even Keel Event Productions, and his new equity partners, Chuck Surack, CEO of Sweetwater Sound and his wife Lisa, are eager to make Rick's dream of establishing one of Indiana's premier arts and entertainment venues a reality.
Once converted into a performance hall, the space will accommodate a standing-room-only crowd of 2,220 or 612 in seated format. Longer term plans will address refurbishing of the surrounding Quimby Village retail spaces to attract local entrepreneurs. View the entire Quimby Village complex here.
Earlier this week, WBOI's Julia Meek met with Kinney to discuss the scope of the project, and the impact it will make on Fort Wayne's cultural landscape.
