For the first time ever, the Los Angeles Conservancy is coming to Beverly Hills for Last Remaining Seats, a signature series of classic films and live entertainment in historic movie palaces.
The Saban: An Art Deco Jewel
Designed by legendary theatre architect S. Charles Lee, the Saban Theatre opened in 1930 as the Fox Wilshire Theatre. It served as a premiere movie palace for fifty years before its 1981 renovation into a stage venue. The theatre was renamed in 2009 in honor of donors Haim and Cheryl Saban, who helped fund the restoration.
A Classic Film and So Much More
Making the June 30 Last Remaining Seats screening even more special, the feature film - The Wizard of Oz - was selected by Los Angeles Conservancy members as their Fan Favorite film. A young Judy Garland leads an impeccable cast through an unforgettable journey down the Yellow Brick Road in this beloved classic.
