Rumors spread on social media this week about the possible sale and demolition of the Five Points Theatre in Riverside. Building owner Jack Shad released a statement in response:

“Our family bought the 5 Points Theatre Building in 2004 and did a complete historic rehabilitation to return this beautiful building to its original appearance. After almost 20 years, it is time for us to sell the building to a new owner who can maintain that legacy. After a long search, we have found a buyer with experience managing other historic properties throughout the Southeast,” Shad said in an email.
