At the heart of Glendale, this 1400-plus-seat art deco landmark opened in 1925 as a vaudeville and movie palace and now stages productions from cultural heavyweights as diverse as the Los Angeles Ballet, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles. The stunningly refurbished interior has Greek and Egyptian motifs.
For theater patrons, $1 validated parking covers four hours in nearby local structures (check www.alextheatre.org/visit/parking for details).
