Los Angeles is losing The Steve Allen Theater, a theater that should be more near and dear to its heart for all the comedy, variety, music, magic, theater, curiosities, etc. that Trepany House has presented over the years.
The least you could do is catch the theater’s swan song, which will be a show packed to the gills with Trepany House’s all time favorites.
Tickets for general admission are $20 and VIP tickets are $50. Get them quick because they will probably sell out.
The Steve Allen Theater/Center For Inquiry, Along with Trepany House, Will Be Torn Down This Summer
There seems to be a disturbing trend of local theaters around LA being torn down in order to build condos.
The Steve Allen Theater, the long time home of The Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch, the first home of Re-Animator the Musical, a place where the likes of Marc Maron, Bill Burr, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross worked out long sets, etc., is coming to an end this Summer. That includes the Center for the Inquiry and Trepany House, the non-profit behind the programming at the Steve Allen.
The building will be torn down so a new set of condos can be built.
There is no word yet on when the final days will exactly be or, more importantly, their shows will have to find a new home. You can read the Steve Allen/Trepany House’s own Amit Itelman’s announcement of the whole plan here.
In the meantime, we urge you to go see one of the final shows (that includes Tomorrow! w/Ron Lynch) at the Steve Allen over the next few months.
