Go inside Houdini's Los Angeles Orpheum, Jan. 27

This Saturday, January 27, you'll have an opportunity to go inside the Palace Theater in downtown Los Angeles as part of the annual "Night on Broadway" street festival. Why is that exciting? Because the Palace was originally the Orpheum Theater where Houdini performed in 1915 and 1923, and where he had his famous encounter with Jess Willard. The theater is normally shuttered, so this is a rare chance to see inside. Woot!

Night on Broadway is a free arts and music festival produced in celebration of Councilmember José Huizar’s Bringing Back Broadway economic development initiative. For more information visit the official website.
