El Portal Theater
El Portal Theatre is a historic landmark in the San Fernando Valley and built originally as a vaudeville house in 1926. The art deco Marquee is visible to thousands of cars who travel on Lankershim Blvd. Since its opening-- first for Vaudeville, then Silent Movies, and then Academy Award-winning films -- the theatre has weathered the Jazz Age, the Depression, 4 wars, and finally the great earthquake of 1994. The lobbies boast luscious carpeting secured in 2004 from Century City's Shubert Theatre.
