Description
The historic Alex Theatre is lauded as an icon, a cultural landmark, and is one of the most impressive theatres of its kind. In September, The Alex celebrated its 95th Birthday. A virtual fundraiser was created which featured an informative and entertaining tour entitled “An Architectural and Historical Tour of the Alex” with Musical Theatre Guild Member, Jason Graae, serving as its host. The Glendale Historical Society presented and funded the tour in partnership with Glendale Arts. We are proud to present to the membership a screening of the Alex tour, along with an introduction by the managing director of the Alex Theatre, Nina Crowe. An opportunity for TGHS members to support The Alex in order to raise the funds needed to ensure its future during these challenging times is encouraged during the presentation.
In addition to the Alex tour a special “Behind the Scenes” short of the 2019 TGHS event “Thanks for the Memories” celebrating film, people, and Glendale history, hosted by NPR personality Adam Felber, will be presented. The short will also include an interview with the events director, Vice President of the Alex Film Society, Randy Carter.
