Westlake Theatre Restoration Proposal Aims to Revitalize Community
The historic Westlake Theatre in Los Angeles, which opened in 1926 and has been largely unused since 1991, is the focus of a new restoration proposal by the nonprofit theater company Strindberg Laboratory. The organization plans to transform the theater into a community arts and nonprofit hub, preserving its historical features while adapting it for modern use. The proposal includes hosting live performances, film screenings, and community events. The project is in its early stages, with no major funding secured yet, and aims to involve community input to shape its development. The estimated cost for acquiring and restoring the theater is between $6 and $8 million.
