No bids for Bethesda Theatre
By
Washington Post editors
About two dozen people came out Tuesday for the auction of the Bethesda Theatre. Many were journalists, some were community members. None were bidders.
The theater failed to gain any external bids.
The Wisconsin Avenue landmark was put up for auction after its owners defaulted on their mortgage.
