Today the LA Conservancy begins selling tickets to its members for the 26th Annual installment of Last Remaining Seats (LRS), the hugely popular festival that brings classic films and live entertainment to historic theaters in the LA area. I’ve attended this event in the past and always had a great time. Not only do you have the opportunity to watch wonderful films on the big screen, but you’ll experience them in some of the most beautiful movie palaces ever built in this country.

Although LA Conservancy members can purchase tickets for Last Remaining Seats starting today, you don’t have to wait until April 11th when they go on sale to the general public. If you join the Conservancy today, you too can take advantage of the advance ticket opportunity. Not only will you ensure that you can attend the screenings that you want, but you’ll have the satisfaction of supporting an outstanding institution.
As a personal aside, the LA Conservancy is one of my favorite local organizations. This member supported non-profit works hard to preserve LA County’s rich architectural and cultural resources through education and advocacy. I have learned a lot about the architectural heritage of various neighborhoods and buildings throughout our region by taking its docent led tours. I’ve also seen first hand how it works to preserve historically significant structures in our community. That in and of itself is worth the price of membership in my opinion.
DETAILS
When: Wednesday evenings, May 30 to June 27; Plus two screenings Saturday, June 30
