Hi,
It’s been a while since the last time I sent out any word to you. Lots of excitement going on at The Catlow Arts Center! The creative juices are flowing in abundance here… making lemonade out of lemons is our goal.
First off, we will re-open the theater as soon as possible. There will be many new and exciting improvements when we do. That’s all I can say for now, but be ready for some (safe) great times here!
Also, we are expanding our curbside service to a ‘pop-up indoor/outdoor cafe’ that we will nickname CATOLONEY’S - combining Catlow and Boloney’s. In reality it will remain as being run by The Catlow & Showtime, but we just thought we’d have some fun with it and call it Catoloney’s for now. There will be outdoor seating as well as safe distance indoor seating on a limited basis. We will have the State Safety Guidelines posted for our customers and employees and your safety will be our main concern.
You will still be able to order online at showtimeeatery.com and pickup your curbside order, but now, you will have the opportunity to sit and relax in our historic lobby and outdoor area. This should be a safe, fun escape for all! Relax and put your cares aside for a bit.
We have added some of the amazingly popular hard seltzers to our menu along with Pepsi product fountain drinks. We also serve cold beer, chilled white wine, red wine, (which is also good served chilled on request), popcorn, caramel corn, cheese corn, candy and food… everything you will need to enjoy a bit of the Catlow/Boloney’s/Showtime experience at home.. or stay here and visit!. Yes, I said Boloney’s. We are going to carry a few of Boloney’s favorite popular sandwiches on our menu!
This pop-up should all start by Wednesday but I’ll be out there later today selling curbside. Hope to see you soon!

NAMING RIGHTS:
In an effort to keep the Catlow Building thriving well into the future, we are offering several ways to purchase naming rights to select areas of the theater. To begin with, our two lobby areas, the main lobby and inner lobby will be named, for example, Jones Hall after whoever purchases those naming rights with a nice plaque displaying their name in perpetuity. The auditorium… same opportunity… the Jones Auditorium. The building itself could be… The SmartBank Catlow Arts Center for example. So we are seeking those families, individuals or corporations that would be interested in keeping The Catlow and their own legacy alive forever. Please contact me at 224-634-7880 with any serious interest. Let the bidding begin.
