Fetching the dogbone!

With its restoration complete and a fresh coat of paint, Bloomington's landmark 'dogbone' marquee is back home and shining brighter than ever!

We had a treat watching the installation from our office windows!

BCT Unearthed!

BCT Program Associate Patrick Davey with his new buddies.

As the Buskirk-Chumley Theater progresses with its renovations, something wicked this way comes...the hellmouth beneath the BCT opened, unleashing frightening, bloodthirsty, terrifying...decorations! AAAAHHHH!!!

The 2008 Dark Carnival Film Festival invaded the Buskirk this past weekend for its events, including screenings, a terrifyingly seductive fashion show and special guest stars of horror fame.

For more sights and frights, visit Dark Carnival on MySpace if you dare!

Fashion+Function+Art

The Buskirk-Chumley will be holding its annual fundraising event, Fashion+Function+Art this October 23rd at 7pm.


Downtown retailers will be showing their fashions, and local 'celebrities' will be strutting their stuff down the runway. Do you know any local celebrities that should be working the runway? People who are on the cutting edge of today's fashion or have a following that rivals Elvis? Email suggestions (with contact info) to info@buskirkchumley.org.

Tickets for FFA are $15 general admission and $10 student.

BCT “razes” the roof

Thanks to the responsible property ownership of the City of Bloomington, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is undergoing some roofing and weatherization improvements this summer. Brandt Construction started late June on some renovations to the roof. Many will have noticed by now that scaffolding has gone up hiding much of the iconic front façade and that the much loved INDIANA marquee has been hauled away to get some TLC.

But don't despair!

Shows will continue regularly, and be sure to visit your newly weather-tight Theater in the next season for some great new shows.

Margot and guests rock the house!
