## Resource

A historic Art Deco theater, the El Campanil, facing closure after nearly a century, may soon be sold to a growing local church seeking a larger space. The church, deeply connected to the venue’s legacy, plans minimal updates to preserve its architectural soul. Once a vaudeville hub and later a nonprofit arts center, the theater’s future hangs in balance as financial woes—possibly unrelated to the current foundation’s stewardship—prompt a sale. Residents and officials scramble to protect this cultural icon, but legal hurdles may block their efforts, leaving the fate of this beloved landmark uncertain.
