STAND UP AND PROTEST THE SALE OF THE UTAH THEATER
Who's ready to go crash a press conference? �
・・・
Hines is doing a press conference right before the RDA meeting at 10:00am about their proposal and destruction of the theater.
They want to talk about the "planned public benefits" of replacing the theater with a skyscraper of luxury apartments.
The only public benefit we'll settle for, is a fully restored Utah Theater.
Keep your benefits, Hines. Our theater and artistic future is not for barter or negotiation. You should be ashamed for trying to profit over historical and artistic destruction. ****************************************************** TUES 11/12 Media Briefing on Utah Theater from Hines
