The Frida Cinema

Founded by Logan Crow in 2014 in a former Spanish-language theater, The Frida is Orange County's only nonprofit cinema. Named for painter Frida Kahlo, its two 200-seat auditoriums with 4K laser projection serve Santa Ana's diverse community with international, independent, cult, and classic films, plus monthly collaborations with the Downtown First Saturday ArtWalk.

The Alex Theatre

Glendale, California

This 1925 movie palace served as a preview house for major Hollywood studios, drawing stars from Elizabeth Taylor to Charlie Chaplin. Its iconic 100-foot neon tower, added by theater architect S. Charles Lee in 1940, crowns an atmospheric auditorium painted to resemble twilight skies—now beautifully restored and on the National Register.

Old Town Music Hall

El Segundo, California

This 188-seat treasure in El Segundo dates to 1921 when it opened as the State Theatre for refinery workers. In 1968, organists Bill Coffman and Bill Field installed their meticulously restored 1925 Mighty Wurlitzer—complete with 2,600 pipes painted in fluorescent colors—creating LA's premier venue for silent films with live accompaniment, just as they were originally shown.
