South Pasadena’s Rialto Theatre is turning 100. You’ve definitely seen its storied marquee—which was recently restored—on screen: It’s where Mia and Sebastian had their movie date in La La Land, and it’s also made appearances in Scream 2 and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” music video. To mark the occasion, Friends of the Rialto are hosting a free celebration feting the theater, starting with the charming town’s Fall Arts Crawl at 3pm, with artisan booths, food and drinks, free activities and displays about the Rialto. When the sun sets, settle in on the lawn outside the South Pasadena Historical Museum for live organ accompaniment to silent movies, a 1920s vaudeville puppet show from Bob Baker Marionette Theater, ukelele music, a talk with La La Land’s production designer and set decorator, and live “Thriller” and Time Warp dances.
