Filming at the Palace Theatre

The loft at the Palace Theatre was transformed into Maude's studio for the Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski.

For years the inherent beauty and historical character of L.A.'s Broadway theatres have made them ideal shooting locations for feature films, TV shows, commercials, music videos and magazine photo shoots and more.

The ornate grandeur of these theatres can transport the viewer back in time, as they have for films such as the Oscar-winning The Artist, Christopher Nolan's The Prestige or the Sacha Gervasi film Hitchcock. Or they can be used in more contemporary settings, such as in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises or the Coen Brothers' The Big Lebowski.

In addition to its spectacular auditorium and stage, the Palace features a loft with latticed windows set at a dramatic angle that has been used in a number of highly creative ways. Another area of visual interest is a New York-style alley, which has been used in several films including The Dark Knight Rises. Visit the Venue Areas page for photos and more information.

Our long experience with shooting in these theatres enables us to make the process run smoothly, from site surveys to booking dates and pre-planning to the actual production itself.
