The Bealsco Theater

The Belasco Theater has been discussed several times on this thread but I wanted to add some present day photos. I had the awesome experience of attending a fundraiser there last night and was absolutely amazed by the beauty of it. The theater has recently undergone a three million dollar renovation and it is extraordinary.

Originally financed by Edward Doheny, for the Belaso brothers, and designed by Morgan, Walls and Clements, the theater opened on November 11, 1926.

In its later history, the theater served as a church for over thirty years but had been shuttered for many years prior to renovation.
