Dolby Theatre

Relive your childhood theatergoing experiences this Christmas with Uncle Drosselmeyer, Clara and her beloved Nutcracker at the L.A. Ballet. The timeless show—which gets a SoCal-setting twist here—will travel all over L.A. for the holiday season, bringing classic pirouettes and Mouse King battles to UCLA, as well as 12 performances at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where the show will be backed by the troupe’s live orchestra.

Geek out with fellow TV nerds at PaleyFest, the annual weeklong festival of exclusive episodes, clips and panel discussions with the cast and creators of the hottest TV shows. The Paley Center for Media-hosted festival is headed back to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood from April 4 through 12, 2026. This year’s lineup includes cast and creator panels for The Pitt as well as a pair of beloved L.A.-set shows: Nobody Wants This and Shrinking. Look out for the full lineup to be announced on January 26. Tickets go on sale to the general public on January 30 at 9am, with presales for Paley members earlier in the week.
