Built in 1925, the beautifully restored Alex Theatre is an ideal venue for television, film and commercial productions. Featuring Greek & Egyptian motifs, the auditorium is designed as an "atmospherium" with an open-air illusion enhanced by the stage-set wall encircling the auditorium, creating the feeling of being enclosed in an ancient garden. The Alex is one of the few atmospheric theatres constructed in Southern California & one of only a handful that still remain. The new seating in the auditorium & the restored lobby areas capture the feeling & ambiance of the original design. The 1381 seat venue has hosted such productions as NBC's Last Comic Standing & Nick at Nite's Funniest Mom in America 3, as well as, 2005 Diet Coke commercial starring Jennifer Garner and the 2006 Cover Girl commercial starring Queen Latifah.
