The long decrepit Seville Theatre may be incorporated into a new student residence for Concordia University, while preserving some fragments of the theatre's walls and façade.

Although I'm usually in favour of preserving older buildings when we can, I think the Seville's had it; its value was in its being a theatre, and now it's completely gutted. If they want to build on that spot, they should start from scratch.

In other post-repertory-cinema news, there's sadness for the loss of the Cinéma du Parc.
