A very interesting Star Tribune piece today regarding efforts to save the old Guthrie 
Theatre. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/2868840.html The issue will be before 
the City Council Zoning and Planning Committee on June 11. Last year, a study funded 
by the Walker found no viable reuse for the existing Guthrie. No surprise there. I 
would love to see the Guthrie saved for community classical orchestras such as the 
Minnesota Sinfonia and Minnesota Philharmonic who are scattered to various venues. 
Also, the existing Guthrie would be an excellent location for chamber ensembles and 
various community theatres. I believe the Walker can have its needed expansion by 
using the old Allianz Insurance Building site and we should leave the Guthrie intact.
