The problem isn't the cost, it's the awkward layout of the interior.

The space isn't very flexible and to really make use of the building, any would-be developer would have to completely rebuild the interior. Even if this building hadn't been vacant for whatever number of years, it would still be a pretty hard sell. Otherwise, it might just be easiest for it to become another small music venue.

Theatres are great for historical and cultural value, but pretty hard to convert into anything else.
