There is a new place going up across the street, but it's going to be a cabaret theater. I would imagine that they have something else in mind for The Crest, but there was no mention of what.

"Renovation" to make the theater larger would mean demolishing the existing building and making it bigger, thus losing the last of K Street's original theaters (although it was itself a latecomer--the Crest was built to replace the burned-out Hippodrome.) Plus the place isn't exactly small as it is. The building was restored only a decade ago. If there are larger performances to be held, it seems like there are a few other options nearby: the community center, music circus, memorial auditorium.
