  • ... that the Theater am Aegi (pictured), opened in Hanover in 1953 as "Germany's most modern theatre" and serving mostly cinema, is a venue for a wide range range of performances? Source: several
  • Reviewed: Three Obliques (Walk In)
  • Comment: complicated story, burnt down, threatened with closure, big tour events, perhaps worth mentioning in article and hook?

  • Meets criteria (new article, well sourced, etc). The image works well, and I'm fine with the current hook, but "serving mostly cinema" is a little awkward - maybe rephrase it. The fire and its building on the site of a bombed theatre could also be an interesting hook, as you noted. ~ HAL333 21:21, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
