ON STAGE & UPCOMING
Page to Stage
A New Play Reading Series
Page to Stage at the Victory is a new play reading series dedicated to the earliest, most vital stage of a play’s life: the moment it leaves the writer’s desk and is heard aloud for the first time. Each reading brings together professional actors and a director for a live, script-in-hand performance of a new or in-development work, followed by an audience talkback with the playwright.
Since 1979, the Victory Theatre Center has championed new voices in Los Angeles theatre — Page to Stage continues that commitment, giving playwrights a room full of listeners and giving audiences a first look at what’s next.

RIGHT ON VICTORY BLVD
Granada Restaurant
A lively Mexican spot just down the street from the theatre — margaritas, fajitas, rooftop dining, and a great happy hour. A natural pre-show choice.

Guildhall
A board game bar with a serious cocktail program, garlic fries worth writing home about, and an atmosphere that makes it easy to stay all night. Right down the block on Victory.

CASUAL & LOCAL
Coral Cafe
A Burbank institution since 1957 and a longtime personal favorite of our co-founder Tom Ormeny. The “World Famous Coral Cafe” is a classic American diner open seven days a week — perfect for a relaxed pre-show meal or a late bite after the show. Tom recommended it to everyone he knew, and we’re happy to carry on the tradition.
