This past year, Corona Del Mar’s long dormant Port Theatre was saved from the wrecking ball and plans were announced for an extensive remodel; promising to re launch the theatre as an upscale, lounge style, cinema. While work on the theatre began almost immediately, it soon became apparent that the building was in need of a lot more work than anyone had anticipated. By the Summer of 2008, the Port had been stripped down to the studs and the theatre has basically been a “work in progress” ever since.

Fortunately, The Orange County Register provided a brief update earlier this month. While the theatre’s current owner has remained unusually silent on the project, plans have leaked out for an elevator, kitchen, and potential liquor license. Of more interest, the construction company claims work will be completed by the Summer of 2009, although no concrete date has been set for the Port’s re opening.
