On November 4, 2001, eleven months before its demolition, the theatre served as a one-off venue for the 2001 Primetime Emmy Awards when the event lost its scheduled venue, the Shrine Auditorium, due to postponement following the September 11 attacks. It had previously hosted the awards in 1973 and 1976.
The theatre closed in January 2002 due to a lack of bookings for the 2002 season and was demolished in October 2002 to make way for an office complex.[1]
