Welcome to Alex90, a celebration of the
Alex Theatre’s 90th year and our 2015–16
season!
From the time it opened its doors in 1925,
the Alex Theatre has stood proudly as the
cultural epicenter of the City of Glendale.
Over the years, the two have developed a
distinct bond. They’ve grown up together,
continuously seeking out innovation and
progress, committed to maintaining their
respective heritage. Through changing
times, the Alex has transcended its beginnings as a mere vaudeville house and has
stood proudly as a symbol for the city.
This anniversary is meaningful because
it shows the power of a community that
has embraced such a treasured icon and
remained dedicated to playing an active
role in its ongoing success. By the same
token, Glendale Arts has always strived to
contribute to this phenomenal community
by ensuring that the Alex remains more
than just a beloved landmark, but a destination for all to experience the arts and live
entertainment.
Celebrating 90 years of the Alex Theatre
throughout the 2015-16 season represents
our collective commitment to Preserving
the Past and Presenting the Future. We
thank you for your continued support and
look forward to seeing you at the Alex!
Coinciding with the start of the Alex90
season was The ILLUMINATE Project,
which aimed to fully restore the Theatre’s
100-foot-tall Art Deco neon tower and spire
so it can once again stand as the shining
light of the Glendale skyline. To us, Alex90
and campaigns like The ILLUMINATE
Project offer everyone an opportunity to
celebrate this historic milestone and make a
significant contribution to maintaining and
preserving the Alex’s legacy for generations
to come.

THE ALEX: 90 YEARS AND COUNTING
The Early Years:
1925–1940
From Vaudeville To
Cinema: 1940–1990
The Alexander Theatre first
opened on September 4, 1925.
The “Alexander” was named
after the young son of C.L.
Langley, who developed the
Theatre project.
The 100-foot neon-lit Art Deco
marquee and tower were
added in 1940. They were
designed by renowned theatre
architect S. Charles Lee. At the
time the marquee and tower
were added, the Theatre’s
name was officially shortened
to “Alex.”
In 1934, the Alexander
presented daily matinees and
double features for every
program. Ticket prices were 30
and 40 cents.
Following a distinguished role
in Vaudeville history, the Alex
became a leading preview and
first-run movie house when live
stage performances waned in
the 1930s.
Elizabeth Taylor, Bing Crosby,
Charlie Chaplin, Ginger
Rogers, Barbara Stanwyk, and
Robert Taylor were among the
Hollywood stars who slipped
into the auditorium to see their
new releases.
The City of Glendale
designated the Alex Theatre as
a local landmark in 1977.
A New Center For
Arts & Entertainment:
1991–2010
For 60 years the Alex hosted
first-run blockbusters such
as Star Wars, Raiders of the
Lost Ark, and The Hunt for
Red October. The Alex ended
regular operations on
September 26, 1991
with Terminator 2:
Judgment Day.
In the spring of
1992, the Glendale
Redevelopment
Agency purchased
the Alex and
restoration began in
December of 1992.
On New Year’s Eve
in 1993, the Theatre
reopened as a
performing arts and
entertainment center.
In 1995, the Glendale
Redevelopment Agency
leased the Theatre to the Alex
Regional Theatre (ART) Board,
a non-profit corporation which
oversaw programming, rentals,
fundraising, and management of
the Theatre.
In 2008, the ART Board
became Glendale Arts, a
private non-profit organization
charged with managing the
Alex as well as developing
community
resources and
programming
that benefit the
community.
The Alex
Today:
2010–Present
The Alex Theatre
hosts roughly 200
events per year
Garbage, Gay Men’s Chorus of Los
Angeles, Billy Elliott The Musical,
Arturo Sandoval, and Musical
Theatre Guild, to name a few.
and attracts more than 100,000
patrons to the region. Its
diverse schedule ranges from
classical and contemporary
concerts, theatre, dance,
comedy, film screenings, TV &
film productions, fundraising,
and special events.
The Alex Theatre has been on
Los Angeles HOT LIST’s “Best
Concert Venue” Top 5 list since
2007, winning the 1st place spot
in 2008. Pasadena Weekly
named it “Best of 2010,” and
the Glendale News-Press has
named it the “Best Live Venue”
in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
In the past decade, Glendale
Arts has generated over $8.5
million in earned income
and hosted more than 2,500
community and professional
performances.
Many notable celebrities,
artists, and national and
regional performance groups
have graced the Alex Theatre
stage over the past 20 years.
Some of them include Los
Angeles Ballet, Los Angeles
Chamber Orchestra, Bonnie
Raitt, Jackson Browne, Martin
Short, Steve Martin, John
Cleese, Eric Idle, Malcolm
McDowell, Gary Oldman,
