The Wiltern opened in 1931 as the Warner Brothers Western Theater, showcasing vaudeville acts and films.
The building's striking turquoise color comes from its glazed architectural terra-cotta tiles, a hallmark of Art Deco design.
The theater was saved from demolition by preservationists and was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1979.
The Wiltern can accommodate approximately 1,850 guests, making it one of the largest theaters in Los Angeles.
The name 'Wiltern' is derived from the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue, where the theater is located.
The Wiltern is an exemplary piece of Art Deco architecture, designed by architect Stiles O. Clements.
From rock concerts to comedy shows, The Wiltern has been a versatile venue for diverse entertainment since its inception.
