Beverly Hills Little Theatre for Professionals
The Beverly Hills Little Theatre for Professionals, which grew out of a nationwide little theatre movement, was a playhouse founded by actor Harold Lloyd and others in 1931 in Beverly Hills, California. It was originally at the Wilkes Vine Street Theatre, now renamed the Ricardo Montalbán Theater, and some years later moved to a renovated location on Santa Monica Boulevard. It was a place for young stars to showcase their talents in the hope of being discovered by talent scouts.
Why it's on the map
The Beverly Hills Little Theatre for Professionals, which grew out of a nationwide little theatre movement, was a playhouse founded by actor Harold Lloyd and others in 1931 in Beverly Hills, California.
It was likely inspired by the enormous success of the Hollywood Community Theater (1917–1922), founded by noted drama teacher Neely Dickson, that no longer had a permanent building after losing its lease.
