Nothing is going on now as far as I can see. They may have stripped the inside and are waiting for more money, or something. I was on Main three times this week and didn’t see any renovation efforts.

kencmcintyre commented about Wiltern Theatre on Oct 19, 2006 at 2:32 pm

I understand your point, but it does make it more interesting to see the progression from yesterday to today. This is especially important when you consider how many places like the Wiltern are now parking lots.

Interesting. Thanks.

I took a tour around the exterior yesterday, but I couldn’t get into the building itself. Underneath the main entrance are stairs which lead to an exit presumably used for overflow theater crowds.
