L.A. County releases $15 million toward Natural History Museum plans for a new entrance, theater and cafe. Another $15 million is approved for later.
L.A.'s largest nonprofit theater company suspends the rest of the season, including its LeBron James play “King James.” It projects a massive deficit.also includes a new 400-seat theater and event space to replace the now-closed 1960 Jean Delacour Auditorium, a second cafe and outdoor gathering spaces. About 53,000 square feet of the project will be renovated space, and 22,000 square feet is new construction.
The goal is to “really open up a front porch to the south lawn and the space between us and the Coliseum and embrace that community-facing role,” museum Director Lori Bettison-Varga said in an interview weeks ago, before the novel coronavirus closed museums across the region. At the time she added that she hoped the space eventually could become “a community hub, a convening space, a place for dialogue, for shared experience.
Groundbreaking and opening dates remain a question mark. The museum hasn’t set a construction timeline as it navigates the COVID-19 crisis.“Clearly, the timing of this much-appreciated approval by the county is tempered by the concerns about our public health and economic uncertainties in our country,” Bettison-Varga said recently by email, adding that the museum would be “monitoring the developing situation as we make plans for the future.
