Barrington’s Catlow Theater has stopped showing feature films because of financial problems, the owner announced Saturday.
Barrington’s historic Catlow Theater has stopped showing feature films because its owner doesn’t have the cash to pay bills.
Owner Tim O’Connor sent an email Saturday informing patrons of the movie theater’s closure.
“Unless we meet our crowd fundraiser goal, we may not be able to book any movies until we come up with enough money to pay more bills,” the email read. A note on the Catlow’s website read “Catlow closed until further notice.”
The one-screen theater, at 116 W. Main St., will remain open for special events, O’Connor wrote. That includes planned showings of Oscar-nominated animated and live action short films scheduled for Feb. 8 and Feb. 9. Tickets for those showings are available through the village government at barrington-il.gov/oscars.
