A nice story about Celebrity Centre theatre in 1969 on one of Geoff Levine's sites:

What is Celestial Navigations?

... It is the result of a collaboration between accomplished stage and screen actor Geoffrey Lewis and electronic musicians Geoff Levin...

The History Of Celestial Navigations

It was 1969, Geoffrey Lewis and Geoff Levin met at Celebrity Centre™, a performing art center in Los Angeles run by the Church of Scientology. At that time they were both involved at the center doing stage productions, Lewis acting and Levin producing and playing guitar for various performers there.
Lewis was in the first play produced at the centre's theater. One evening during open mic Levin saw Lewis perform one of his original stories. Levin made a decision then and there that he had to perform with Lewis. In early spring of 1970 Levin and Lewis formed a group with singer/songwriter Jack Skinner, (guitar and bass). They used the Celebrity Centre theater as a showcase to form the "Great American Entertainment Show".
In that show Lewis sang songs and played drums, did a few comedy skits and more importantly, told a few stories. In effect, they had formed the first version of Celestial Navigations. Up to this point, there was no music accompanying the stories. The group did several performances at Celebrity Centre. They were humorously billed as "Jack Armstrong, Mom and apple pie".

"Celestial Navigations was honestly one of the most original and moving evenings in the theatre I have ever experienced."
- John Travolta
