Located 25 miles south of Hollywood, La Mirada is best known not for its film or television industry, but for its theater. Converted from an old movie house, the 30-year-old La Mirada Theatre is considered one of the best regional playhouses in the nation - and it's active in the community. The theater hosts a number of events and workshops throughout the year for kids and teens. And a new 18-acre swim park expected to open in La Mirada later this year. -B.N.
