Barrington theater company Parker Players is investing $100,000 into a renovation that’ll give the iconic Catlow Theater an additional use: as a performing arts center.
“The Catlow is to Barrington as the opera house is to Woodstock and the Water Tower is to Chicago. It’s an icon. If you look at Barrington’s letterhead, the Catlow is on it,” said Jack Lageschulte, president of the Parker Players board.
Parker Players worked with Catlow owner Tim O’Connor on a contract to renovate the 1920s era theater. The renovation includes a stage, lighting, a new sound system and safety improvements, Lageschulte said.
