LAHTF is thrilled to be returning to the Palace Theatre on Broadway for our signature ALL ABOUT tour. Join us for our first event of 2024 when we go behind-the-scenes from below stage to the projection booth above and everything in between.

Originally built as the Orpheum, this 1911 theatre was locally landmarked in 1989 from an application submitted by LAHTF’s founding board and sits in the center of the largest theatre district listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. You don’t want to miss this special in-depth exploration as walk through 113 years of history from vaudeville to burlesque, movies to music videos. Be sure to keep an eye out on the small architectural details hiding throughout the theatre, too!

General Admission Tickets: $25.
LAHTF Member Tickets: $15.
Accessibility: Some back of house spaces of the tour may have limited accessibility.

ALL ABOUT the El Capitan Theatre

ALL ABOUT the El Capitan Theatre

Our most recent ALL ABOUT event took place at the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, in early November.

Members and supporters went behind-the-scenes, from the stage basement to the followspot booth way up at the back of the auditorium, and everywhere in between.

This 1926 theatre is rich in Hollywood movie history and our friends at Disney and the El Capitan gave us an all-access pass to much of the theatre, along with a fantastic presentation on the Wurlitzer organ with a 1-to-1 Q+A with Rob Richards, the El Capitan’s organist since 1999.

Be sure to check out LAHTF’s membership and supporter options for how you can take part in forthcoming events like this!

At a special virtual event on 27th August 2022, LAHTF announced its “Theatres at Risk” for 2022.

If you weren’t able to attend our event at the time, click here to watch our 35-minute presentation Los Angeles Theatres at Risk 2022, on YouTube.

The presentation introduces viewers to LAHTF’s risk rating process, developed so that all theatres are assessed on the same non-subjective criteria. We then dive into the Top 11 Theatres at Risk for 2022, and conclude with information on how you can help LAHTF keep a watchful eye on the historic theatres of Los Angeles County.
