| About ICE Theaters |
In November 1997, husband and wife team, Donzell and Alisa Starks, fulfilled a dream and made history by bringing Hollywood back to the 'hood in Chicago. Through a joint venture with one of the largest movie exhibitors, this dynamic duo of an investment banker and a marketing expert, accomplished what few thought possible - the revival of movie theaters in inner city communities on the south and west sides of Chicago.
The project included the construction of three state-of-the-art complexes - ICE Chatham 14, ICE 62nd & Western 10, and ICE Lawndale 10. The Starks financed this $39 million project and all three multiplex theaters opened to the public on November 24, 1997.
Today, 10 years later, ICE Theaters still brings moviegoers the best in big screen motion picture entertainment right into urban neighborhood communities. And the goal of ICE Theaters remains the same - to symbolize the glamour of Hollywood, incorporate the latest technologies, offer superior customer service and add pride to each community it serves.
