Raymond Theatre (formerly Perkins Palace) is an auditorium located in Pasadena, California, built around 1921.[1] It was known as Perkins Palace when it was a live music venue from 1979 through 1991.[2] In addition to being a popular music venue, it featured in several films and music videos during the 1980s.[3]
