Meet the Business Owner

Willis, Shirley and Chris J.

Business Owner

The Johnsons gain a real sense of satisfaction in giving new life to an old downtown theatre and even trying to develop a personality for a bland shopping center theatre. Willis and his wife, Shirley, are members of a number of preservation societies, as well as Theatre Historical Society. Along with the Tivoli, the company has restored such older downtown movie theatres as the Lindo in Freeport, the York in Elmhurst, the Lake in Oak Park, the Woodstock in Woodstock and the Paramount in Kankakee. It has also modernized existing theatres and builds exciting contemporary theatres, such as the Elk Grove in Elk Grove Village and its most recent project, the 6-​screen North Riverside Mall Theatre in North Riverside.
