Grab a Seat at Last Remaining Seats!

It’s Last Remaining Seats time! It’s Last Remaining Seats time!

Well…almost. But I’ve got to tell you now so that you can be sure to attend when this awesome event begins on June 1st. And just what is Last Remaining Seats, you ask? Only the best film festival in town!

As I’ve written about before, Los Angeles is home to several beautiful historic movie palaces. Most  are rarely open to the public and people don’t get to see the beauty within. But then, once a year the Los Angeles Conservancy puts on Last Remaining Seats and the theatre doors are flung open so that everyone can come watch a classic film in period surroundings. I told you it was awesome!

This year’s schedule is fantabulous. Check it out:

June 1st – To Catch a Thief at the 1926 Orpheum Theatre (sold out, unfortunately)

June 5th – La Bamba at the 1911 Palace Theatre

June 12th – My Fair Lady at the 1964 Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (wow!)

June 19th – All About Eve at the 1931 Los Angeles Theatre (also sold out)
June 26th – Ben Hur (1925 silent version) at the 1926 Orpheum Theatre
June 29th – Casablanca at the 1930 Saban Theatre
What a line up! And you won’t just see the film. Each evening has a special pre-show performance. Sometimes it’s a band, sometimes it’s an interview with an actor or filmaker, sometimes it’s cartoons and newsreels…really it could be anything!
So come to Last Remaining Seats for the best show in town!
