Background on the Warner Grand Theatre

The Warner Grand Theatre is a lavish, Art-Deco theater originally opened to the public on January 20, 1931. Designed by B. Marcus Priteca, house architect for the Pantages Theater chain, he built three lavish Art-Deco Palaces located in San Pedro, Beverly Hills and Huntington Park. The Warner Grand is the last of the three original theaters left intact and has been undergoing gradual refurbishment after a thirty-year decline. Thanks to Councilwoman Janice Hahn, there is now heating and air conditioning. The orchestra and balcony seats were  beautifully restored November 2006.

Newly-discovered paint details have been found on the walls – please join Grand Vision Foundation to support restoration.
