A Faustian bargain for the Circle Cinemas?
Two years ago, the Punchdrunk theatrical company created a highly unusual production of Faust in an abandoned five-story London warehouse.
Are they bringing it to Boston? Looks that way, based on these extensive sets of Flickr photos of the abandoned Circle Cinemas. [A hat-tip to "DBrenson/br91975" at CinemaTreasures for pointing out the photo sets.]
The photographer is one Chris DeCamillis, member of a Flickr group entitled USA Faust Potential Space. The group's description is "Potential performance spaces- photo sharing from American Repertory Theatre to Punch Drunk in London". And DeCamillis lists himself at LinkedIn as Artistic Coordinator and Resident Stage Manager of American Repertory Theatre.
I suspect these photo sets were not intended for the general public, but I'm intrigued by the possibilities here.

"One Last Curtain Call"
Check this out, from the Allston-Brighton TAB -- it describes uncertainty about the building's future and refers to UH (probably this very thread):
