Morse Theatre re-opening as Mayne Stage
The long-dormant Morse Theatre is re-opening with a bang in 2010 - and primarily as a music venue. After six million dollars of renovations, a temporary set-back of arson last year, and new management, the venue is ready to open in its new form. But in keeping with the modern tradition of beloved/normal name removal, the venue has been saddled with a new puntastic moniker of the "Mayne Stage" (site presumably forthcoming). The former Century Public House will be also be reborn as the Act One Cafe, with Jimmy Madla of Coobah in the kitchen as executive chef. The venue is waiting on various licenses, so an exact opening date is unknown at this time.
The Trib has a video tour of the space's renovations here.

They had to change the name because the management company they fired still has a claim to the name & trademark.
