The old Showcase is gone. The new MJR Theatre is now being built. They have a couple of the walls up all ready and you can get an ideal on the size of the theatres that will be there.

We will be operating our carnival at the former Showcase Cinemas Westland in the parking lot as a fundraiser (annual) for the Westland Firefiighters. The carnival will be open for ten days starting Friday, 30 May 2008 and running through Sunday, 8 June 2008. This event has been held since 1990 in various locations around Westland, including the parking lot of the former Quo Vadis Theatre from 2004-2007. I will be working in the carnival office as usual. I will get a few photos and submit them.
Still a shame this theatre had to close down. In any case, come out and visit and help support the Westland Firefighters. http://www. wadeshows.

I''ve taken quite a few interior shots on my camera phone, pardon the bad quality. The photos are available at http://savetheqv. org/showcase.

As of Friday, 3 March 2008 the Showcase Cinemas in Westland have closed for good, after eighteen years of providing Westland and the surrounding area with a quality, first-run movie house. I have seen many films there over the years. Competition from the Emagine Theatre in Canton of Ford Road just a few miles west was too much. Sad to see another theatre in Westland go, that means there are no movie theatres left in the city (as the Quo Vadis just north of the Showcase on Wayne Road closed back in 2002).
