The Good: The Warner Grand Theatre is decorated with priceless art deco wall paintings.
The Bad: The upper lobby ceiling suffered a plumbing leak which has since been fixed, but a section of its decorative plaster ceiling is sagging, crumbling and turning to dust at an alarming rate.
The Ugly: The City of L.A. , which owns the theatre, has no funds for the repair, and this problem is compromising the safety of the upper lobby and balcony.
Total Cost of the restoration: $50,000 – Supervisor Don Knabe has challenged Warner Grand lovers with a matching grant of up to $25,000 for every dollar donated. You can help by attending the Gathering for the Grand!
