Profile
Conceived as a luxury satellite for the neighboring Brookhurst Theatre, the Loge opened on February 18, 1970, with the film “Oliver!” Featuring an “adults only” admission policy and loge style seating for 200, the venue provided an intimate theatre going experience that was reminiscent of a screening room. Initially run as a separate theatre, with it’s own ticketing and programming; following the larger Brookhurst’s remodel/quad division, the Loge was often billed as a fifth auditorium.
The Loge was closed in 1996 and converted in to a cosmetology school by the new millennium. On 2/27/14, the structure was razed.
