A truly magical place, our original auditorium was built in 1929, designed to have the atmosphere and look of an outdoor Mediterranean theater, with twinkling stars and clouds overhead, and sandy stucco walls. The Music Box wasn’t a movie palace with thousands of seats, but a smaller, more modest neighborhood theater, just big enough to feel grand, but small enough to feel like home. One thing that makes it special today is that the auditorium remains intact, and was never chopped up into smaller theaters (a common fate for similar venues).
