Chicago’s legendary Uptown Theatre has been bought by locally based independent promoter Jam Productions for $3.2 million, pending approval of the judge presiding over the theater’s foreclosure sale. The total cost of the theater will be around $5 million, thanks to some $1.8 million in liens related to city-performed maintenance work, but here’s hoping the sale is the first step toward the theater’s gorgeous interior being opened to the public once again after years of it sitting vacant.
