a new immersive called “Angel of Light” is taking place at the Los Angeles theatre through October 31st, 2023.
“The experience is set in the 1930s as guests are transported back to the Hollywood Golden Age and find themselves at the Los Angeles Theatre to see Rota K. Preston’s debut vocal performance. Unbeknownst to the audience, the ancient Angel of Light curse is revived that evening – and attendees will relive the chaotic and unsettling tale through the combination of live performances, elaborate sets, and ornate artistry. The experience uses advanced technology to take those who dare deep into the past, including the power of Dolby Atmos sound, projection mapping, shifting light and music, and power strobe lights.”
Bit more history…
“Nina and Glenn Froehlich, who worked for the California Electric Power Company (later to become Edison Company), were married in 1933.
The couple moved to Idyllwild with their two children in 1941 to live in the power company house to provide electric service to the 200 customers of that time.
In 1949, Nina Mae and Glenn began spending their weekend evenings running the first theatre in Idyllwild at the present Silver Pines Lodge. They completed construction of the Rustic Theatre in 1952 and moved the operation to its present location. This was a “side job” to their primary employment with Edison Company which continued to serve the growing communities of Idyllwild, Pine Cove, Garner Valley and Anza.
In 1962, Nina Mae and her husband retired from the Edison Company and sold the Rustic Theatre in order to give full attention to the Idyllwild Inn, which they had purchased from owner Jerry Johnson. For the next 18 years, they refurbished the buildings and enjoyed the “innkeeping” business until their final retirement in 1980.

“In its release, the company alluded to ongoing challenges and “circumstances beyond our control” as leading to the decision. Specifically, Dipson Theatres cited issues with a “leaky roof” within the theater at the Chautauqua Mall.
“We recognize that the leaky roof has been an inconvenience to you, our valued customers, and we deeply apologize for any discomfort it may have caused during your visits to our establishment,” Dipson said.
“Your support has meant so much to us, and we are genuinely sorry that we can no longer provide you with the quality service and experience that you deserve. Please know that this decision was not made lightly.”

Look at the other comments he left, many have been removed because of the over the top nature. I don’t think that’s really necessary here.

Looks like a leaky roof did them in…
