Best Drama School Salinas Near Me

4worldlovers: Beautifully remodeled, ready for your entertainment, welcome to the Salinas Fox Theater. This classic building is over Ninety years old, with all the grace and charm of its art deco interior restored. Now Salinas not only has a venue for concerts and shows seating over 500 but a beautiful spot for parties, business functions, weddings and other events.

The T & D Theatre opened in November 1921 and was designed by Albert W. Cornelius. He also designed the California Theatre in Pittsburg, California and the California Theatre in Richmond, California. Though different, all three theatres had very similar Grecian facades.

It was sold to the Fox West Coast Theatres Chain in 1930, being renamed Fox California Theater and remodeled by architect Alexander A. Cantin in 1935, and was used for movie attractions for a number of years. The theatre underwent extensive remodeling in the interior and auditorium area which was re-done in the Skouras style indentified with many Fox Movie houses. The design was done by architect Carl G. Moeller and reopened in 1949. The Salinas facade still exists, but was covered over in the remodel of the theatre. Newspaper photos clearly show the columns arched windows and statues being covered over by the "new" chevron design.

“In the late-1930’s through the 1950’s, there occurred on the west coast of the United States a phenomenon known as the ‘Skouras style’ in recognition of the oversight of the Skouras brothers in their management of several cinema chains. They employed a designer by the name of Carl G. Moeller to render their cinemas/theatres in a new style best described as ‘Art Modern meets Streamlined.’ The then new availability of aluminum sheeting at low cost was the principal material difference to this style allowing for sweeping, 3-dimensional shapes of scrolls to adorn walls and facades in an expression that would have been much more expensive and not at all the same in plaster. With the use of hand tinted and etched aluminum forms, the designers could make ornaments in mass production that allowed much greater economies of scale.”
