The League's mission is to promote and facilitate the rescue, restoration, and operation of America's historic theatres, so most of this site is public, especially the part most often used in emergencies - the "Rescue" materials. The League is a membership organization. Its members are among the finest operators and restoration specialists in the world. Joining the League gives you access to their knowledge and skills for a wide variety of operational and restoration information. Material will change from time to time, especially in the "Members" lounge, so come back frequently. When the League learns more, you'll remain connected.
