This place host a lot of functions and is just fun to think how old it is. All over Catalina island you will see the old tile and art deco but this place has it all.
This building is just beautiful. The Art Deco murals alone are worth the stop, but take the indoor tour and in spite of the steep ramp to the Ballroom at the top is worth the difficult climb. If you can, stay for the movie that runs at 7:30 every evening. If you are staying in town, the walk back from the theater will be quite pleasant.
Located in the Casino - very small - only takes about 1/2 hour to see the whole thing. Very small giftshop. Interesting video plays continuously with famous island visitors and events on the island.
We took the quick inexpensive tour and were able to see the theatre and ballroom. Both have beautiful art deco decor and it was a fun little tour.
What an amazing facility! Loved the opportunity to be backstage and see the original workings of the theatre--original projectors, the stage area, the Wrigleys private area, etc. The theatre itself is just such a treat--and it is so well maintained. The ballroom upstairs is fantastic. I wish we had been allowed more time to take pictures outside on the balcony surrounding it. That was my only complaint--we were kind of rushed when we went outside, and the views from there were great.
