Coronet Theatre

About

THE 
GOAL?

Since 1947, the Coronet Theatre Building on North La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles has been an establishment for great entertainment. From its earliest days of historic live theatre and experimental art cinema to its current contribution of live music and comedy, the Coronet Theatre continues to be a place where creativity and entertainment are at its best. Our goal is for the Coronet Theatre Building to be designated a historic-cultural monument, HCM, and officially recognized for its dynamic history and significant cultural contribution to Los Angeles.
