In-Person Tour of DTLA Theater and Commercial Districts with the LA Conservancy

Top-Tower Apple Theater

Bottom- Orpheum Theater

Learn how Hollywood history began on downtown L.A.’s Broadway.

On this tour, you’ll discover that the magic on L.A.’s Broadway is built into its history. The historic theatres on this storied street are integral to the changing identity of downtown Los Angeles and a touchstone for a diverse array of communities and organizations.

Together, we’ll see how historic places on Broadway can take on exciting new roles, like 14,000 housing units and the former Tower Theatre, one of the most spectacular Apple stores in Los Angeles. You haven’t seen the Tower Apple Theatre the way you’ll see it with us.

Route covers about ten blocks; several flights of stairs depending on theatre access and availability (most theatres do not have elevator access to the balconies or basements)

Yes, but there is only limited access at several of the theatres

No pets, please
