Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brad Hall join effort to restore Lompoc Theater

Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus and her husband, Brad Hall, made a major donation to the Lompoc Theater Project.

The project is a non-profit campaign to restore and reopen the old Lompoc Theater.

Louis-Dreyfus is best known for her role in “Seinfeld” as Elaine Benes, and Selina Meyer in “Veep”. Her husband, Brad Hall, is a writer and director who attended Hancock College.

“I was born in Santa Barbara County, and can’t wait to see this project start, finish and flourish,” Hall said.

“We are thrilled and honored to be involved in the Lompoc Theatre Project,” said Louis-Dreyfus, “We are firm believers that this theatre will be the beating cultural heart of the community.”

The Lompoc Theater has been shuttered since the late 1980’s.
