Music Center theatres

Music Center theatres review

The Center Theatre Group programmes two of the halls that make up LA's primary cultural complex. At the north end, the Ahmanson Theatre presents pre- or post-Broadway fare, with seating capacities ranging from 1,600 to 2,100. And in the Center's centre, the 745-seat Mark Taper Forum has staged a wide range of new plays over the last 40 years and was scheduled to reopen in 2008 after a renovation.
Also part of the Music Center, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion offers occasional dance events. And on the south side of the Music Center's Walt Disney Concert Hall, the forward-thinking REDCAT (aka the Roy & Edna Disney/CalArts Theater; www.redcat.org) includes theatre among its many cutting-edge offerings.
