Saturday February 23, 2019 – 9AM – 3PM (ish)
We’re excited to announce that our next On-the-Road Discovery Tour will explore the great Broadway movie and stage show palaces that once made downtown Los Angeles the entertainment center of Southern California. Massive department stores and magnificent theaters drew generations of Angelenos to the city center.
Still a lively shopping street, Broadway is now a hub of adaptive reuse projects that have turned office buildings and department stores into housing, dining, retail and nightlife destinations.
A Docent from the Los Angeles Conservancy will personally escort and tour the group through this National Historic District and learn about Broadway’s evolution and ongoing revitalization. We’ll leave the parking lot behind City Hall at 9:00 am and travel by luxury coach to downtown. After, enjoy a no host lunch downtown before returning to the Orange City Hall after 3:00 pm. This is an exterior walking tour on city streets and the tour route includes hills, uneven pavement and steps.
Tickets are $55 per person, and $45 for OTPA members
Note: Subject to availability, the tour visits the interiors of one or more of the following: the Los Angeles Theatre, The Theatre at the Ace Hotel (formerly United Artists Theatre), and the Orpheum Theatre. Yet we do not guarantee access to any theatres.
