For the past few years, the Portage Theater has served as one of the main meeting places for the Psychotronic Film Society, hosting a variety of sci-fi marathons, Saturday monster kids programming, and other events of interest to members.
After years of hard work went into renovating and maintaining one of Chicago’s few remaining neighborhood theaters, the Portage is in now in danger of being converted into a church.
f you’d like to help preserve this psychotronic institution, go here to sign a petition and make your voice heard.
There are no guarantees, but maybe if there is a big enough outcry we can save the Portage – and help a great neighborhood, too.
