Detroit could become home to the world’s first punk rock re-imagining of Shakespeare’s circular Globe Theatre, constructed with large, corrugated metal shipping containers.

One possible site is a parking lot at Woodward Avenue and Canfield Street.

“The lot is under consideration,” said Bud Liebler, who owns that parking lot and the Whitney restaurant, in addition to running a public relations agency (with his son, Patrick Liebler) that’s working for Vail. “The theater would ‘fit’ there, and because of its location in the heart of Midtown and the Cultural District, it could be an ideal location, but no final determination has been made.” READ THE REST HERE
