The historical Joseph Lebowsky Theater in Owosso caught fire last night. You can get some details here and join the conversation on the Shiawassee forums here.

I haven’t been to Lebowski since it was Capitol Theater, and my friends & I went to see Christine. That was back when the only other theater in town was the Skyway Drive-In. But I was looking forward to March 4, when I planned to see my friends in Beauty and the Beast. They’ve been working very hard on that and we were excited about going to see them. This is really disappointing, but to be honest, all I care about is that everyone got out before the fire started.

Sad day for Owosso though.
