More sucky local economy news: The Source breaks the news today that the 2nd Street Theater is closing.

I just got word that, after nine years as a main player in Central Oregon’s theatrical world, 2nd Street Theater will be closing for good following the upcoming run of Harvey.

“It was a very hard decision to make but since we will still own the building, it will be open for other groups to produce shows and rent the space for parties and events. I may even produce one or two shows a year as long as the building is available,” Thoma said in a press release this morning.

2nd Street was the theater that brought us Evil Dead: The Musical.
