El Portal Theatre is a historic landmark in the San Fernando Valley, located in the heart of North Hollywood just minutes from Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, Disney, ABC, CBS- Radford and NBC Burbank. The theatre sits directly across Lankershim Blvd. from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The art deco marquee is visible to thousands of cars that travel on Lankershim Blvd. daily.
Since its opening in 1926, first for vaudeville, then silent movies and then Academy Award-winning films as the primo movie house in the Valley, the theatre has weathered the Jazz Age, the Depression, four wars, and finally the great earthquake of 1994. The lobbies boast luscious carpeting secured from Century City's Shubert Theatre and an art gallery featuring 13 Los Angeles Visual Artists.
Rebuilt in the late '90s and opened in January 2000, the El Portal now houses three theatres, the new Judith Kaufman Art Gallery, and sumptuous lobbies.
