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.

One of the longest running indie comedy shows in LA, Blam!Blam!Blam! is celebrating a whole decade run.

Blam pushes on where few comedy shows ever get to go.
The Blam!Blam!Blam! 10 Year Anniversary will be held on Valentine’s Day at its home at R-Bar in K-Town making for a great alternative to doing anything that a corporate mandated holiday would have you do. Also, admission is free. Get more details here.
