I'm afraid of what "reconfiguring" will do to the architecture.<BR>

Have their been any specific plans released as to how they're going to reconfigure? I have to admit this was my first thought, after having taken the Playhousesquare monthly tour last Saturday and seeing once again how all the theaters are designed as harmonious, integral spaces. I'm not sure how the Allen space could be subdivided without some kind of awful "multiplex" effect that hacks up the auditorium amd destroys its balance and design. Does anyone have any more info on the restructuring plans?</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT><BR><BR><BR>**************<BR>Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?
