Last Remaining Seats is the L.A. Conservancy's annual series of classic films and live entertainment in the historic theatres of Los Angeles. What started in 1987 as a way to draw attention to neglected historic theatres is now a summer tradition and our most popular event.

As always, Los Angeles Conservancy members can purchase tickets before the general public.

Member Drive through April 30: Recruit New Members for a Chance to Win VIP Reserved Tickets!

If you're a Conservancy member, you have an opportunity to win two VIP, reserved-seating tickets to the 2010 series. All you have to do is purchase a gift membership or recruit a new member by April 30. For every gift membership you purchase, or new member you recruit, you'll be entered into the drawing—there's no entry limit. Details

Ticket Sales Start:
Conservancy members: March 31, 10 a.m. PST
General public: April 14, 10 a.m. PST

Advance tickets are $16 each for Conservancy members and $20 each for the general public. A limited number of series tickets are available, and discounts are available for groups of ten or more.

Preliminary Schedule
Wednesdays at 8 p.m., all in the movie palaces of downtown L.A.'s Broadway Historic Theatre District! Details of the films and live programming will be available soon.

Palace Theatre
630 S. Broadway, Downtown


Built in 1911 as the third home of the Orpheum vaudeville circuit in Los Angeles, this theatre by architect G. Albert Lansburgh is now the oldest remaining original Orpheum theatre in the country. Loosely styled after a Florentine Renaissance palazzo, the faηade of this brick and concrete structure features terra cotta flowers, fairies, and theatrical masks illustrating the spirit of entertainment. It remains remarkably intact and is now used for filming and events.
