‘Central Avenue’ to Benefit Historic Sites
A benefit performance of “Central Avenue,” Stephen Sachs’ critically acclaimed play about Los Angeles’ 1940s black jazz scene, will be presented at the Fountain Theatre on Saturday at 8 p.m.
A portion of the proceeds will help support the Dunbar Economic Development Corp.’s efforts to preserve and maintain the landmark Dunbar Hotel and historic Central Avenue Corridor.
The Dunbar Hotel, now a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument, opened in 1926 and was host to legends Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and many others.
Tickets are $32 and include a catered post-show reception.
The Fountain Theatre is at 5060 Fountain Ave. in Hollywood.
