  • The Palace Theater is one of the oldest theatres in Los Angeles and the oldest remaining original Orpheum theatre in the U.S.<br /> <br /> It hosted many major stars early in its history, including Harry Houdini, Will Rogers, Fred Astaire, and a young Rita Hayworth. The greatest singers, dancers, comedians, acrobats, and animal acts in vaudeville performed here until 1926, when the Orpheum moved to its fourth and final location at Ninth Street and Broadway and the theatre was renamed the Palace.<br /> The Los Angeles Theatre was the last and most extravagant of the ornate movie palaces built on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles between 1911 and 1931. Designed by architect S. Charles Lee with a French Baroque-inspired décor, its majestic six-story main lobby and 2,200-seat auditorium of carved plaster ornamentation, mirrors, and cove-lit murals recall the glamorous days of 1930s Hollywood.<br /> <br /> The Los Angeles Theatre, located in the heart of the downtown Los Angeles historic district at 615 S Broadway, is available for rental to a range of events including film screenings, stage performances, and special events such as parties, weddings, and receptions.<br /> <br /> The auditorium holds 2,000 audience members on the orchestra and balcony levels. The grand lobby, ballroom and restaurant can accommodate an additional 2,000 patrons. These spaces, as well as other smaller spaces, are also available for more intimate gatherings.<br /> <br /> The auditorium is equipped for live stage performances and film screenings. The lobby and ballroom are ideal for gatherings, parties, receptions, and weddings. The Theatre can accommodate your event or performance in the opulence of 1930s Los Angeles.<br /> <br /> The Los Angeles Theatre has been used extensively for filming. It holds unique locations unparalleled in Southern California. In addition to the auditorium and lobby, the Los Angeles Theatre offers many other engaging locations, such as marble-lined restrooms and a glass-ceilinged ballroom.
