rabbi-impresario

But as other venues closed in Beverly Hills (the Canon Theatre was demolished in 2005), Rabbi David Baron, Los Angeles\’ rabbi-impresario, saw an opportunity: \”a home for my temple and also something much bigger,\” he says. \”People hate shlepping to the Pantages in Hollywood or downtown to see Broadway-caliber shows…. I had a dream of being able to preserve, restore, maintain and revitalize this complex and this theater (Wilshire Theatre Beverly Hills), and to make it a real community hub, a cultural, performing arts center for the entire area.\”\n
