LA’s Rooftop Cinema Club to Commence Its 4th Season on 4/4
It’s that time of the year again when we get to grab a coat and a loved one and saunter over, in splendid style, to the rooftop of The Montalbán Theatre on 1615 Vine Street in Hollywood, or the LEVEL rooftop terrace on 888 S. Olive Street in Los Angeles, to take part in the multifaceted fun of the Rooftop Cinema Club.

Frankly, it’s the ideal night out for the 18-and-over crowd, who can experience films in the lovely and cool open air, for affordable tickets beginning at only $19. With an adjustable headset allowing for customized volume, along with comfortable deck chairs to sit in while enjoying cocktails, well-crafted street food, candy, and, of course, blissfully buttered popcorn, there are a varied selection of films to choose from through the end of May at the two R.C.C. locations. These are slated to include ones that are timeless (universal and cult classics), commercially recognized, underrated, Oscar-appreciated, a celebration of women in film, and much more.
For those who might be inclined to snuggle up under the stars atop The Montalbán, which also boasts pristine audio and Canon 4K projection, the season opener on April 4th – I, Tonya — is as great a choice as any. It features superb performances by Margot Robbie, and Academy Award-winner Allison Janney, who won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Harding’s mother.
