“We are working every day to bring this theater back to life in a fun way,” La Spata said. Meanwhile, he said the event highlighted the underground rave community while introducing many of the attendees to the famed theater. La Spata said it’s still very close to being finalized and he expects to hear an update from Department of Planning and Development officials this week. The proposed Congress Theater marquee designed by Woodhouse Tinucci Architects shows restoring it to its former glory. Once revamped, the Congress Theater will also feature 16 units of affordable housing and 13,000 square feet of commercial space for local entrepreneurs, arts groups and nonprofits.
