From Mike Weatherford's column in the Las Vegas Review Journal, we learn that David Saxe is set to take over the operation of Steve Wyrick's old home in Las Vegas, once a competing venue to his other operations.
The Saxe Theater will be the new name for the 435-seater formerly operated by magician Steve Wyrick, who surrendered it to the mall in a December foreclosure. Saxe will now oversee both venues, and hopes to have the new venue up and running by June 1.
Saxe protested Wyrick's lease with mall officials in 2005. Wyrick opened two years later, but neither his show nor a succession of tenant productions ever caught up to the investment. The theater finally closed in December.
