(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The L. Ron Hubbard Theatre, located in the Author Services, Inc. building in Hollywood, just a block west of the famed Chinese Theatre, has been host to the green room for the Hollywood Christmas Parade for 15 years.

President of Author Services, Inc., John Goodwin, stated,“We initially joined in the Hollywood Christmas Parade in 2008 with the release of the Stories from the Golden Age line of books written by L. Ron Hubbard. A few years later, Associated Television assumed control of the Parade and asked us to host the green room due to our ideal location in the heart of Hollywood.” The green room functions extend from organizing volunteers to assisting on the parade route, building and helping run the red carpet, to servicing all the guests inside Author Services, Inc.

This year's 93rd anniversary of the parade began with singing and magic performances on the red carpet from 5:00 to 6:00 PM, followed by over 5,000 participants as the parade kicked off along its 3.2-mile route, cheered on by tens of thousands of spectators. The 500 celebrities, musicians, city officials, and special guests who participated in the Parade included Grand Marshal Luke Wilson (“Old School,”“Legally Blond”), Parade Humanitarian of the Year Anthony Anderson (“Black-ish,”“Law & Order”), Tori Spelling (“90210,”“Scary Movie 1 & 2”), Estelle (Singer -“American Boy”), Thelma Houston (Singer -“Don't Leave Me This Way”), Jon Secada (Singer -“Just Another Day”), Lakers Legends A.C. Green & Byron Scott, Laura McKenzie (Parade Co-Host), Erik Estrada (Parade Co-Host), Montel Williams (Parade Co-Host), along with LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, LA County Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone, and Council Members Monica Rodriguez (LA District 7) and Heather Hutt (LA District 10).
