On July 28, Councilman Curren Price dedicated the intersection of Central and Vernon avenues in recognition of John Dolphin and “Dolphins of Hollywood”—one of the first African-American owned record stores in Los Angeles.
Launched as a 99-seat production at the Lillian Theatre, where it played to SRO houses and critical acclaim, Recorded in Hollywood, the new musical chronicling the story of Black businessman, record label owner and music producer John Dolphin, will receive a commercial run as a guest production at the 317-seat Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City.
