Hollywood Tennis Boom Reuses Classic Film Stages
Hollywood stages once used for cowboys and dance numbers now host indoor tennis. The Hollywood Indoor Tennis Club on Columbia Studios rents a sound stage for two courts with a 24 hour operation and stars like Barbra Streisand, Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, Johnny Carson, Gene Kelly, and Jim Brown among members. The International Studio Tennis Club on Cahuenga Avenue also leverages former Motion Picture Center space with Clarence Ross leading a growing membership as indoor play rises amid limited film production and lower outdoor court use.
