Boasting lavish interiors with grand chandeliers and geometric patterns, The Pantages Theatre in Hollywood stands as a beacon of Los Angeles’ rich entertainment history and cultural heritage. Designed by B. Marcus Priteca in the classic Art Deco style, the theater opened in 1930. The Pantanges Theater has transitioned from a movie theater to a premier stage for live performances, famously hosting the Academy Awards during Hollywood’s golden age from 1950 to 1960. Located at 6233 Hollywood Blvd, it is nestled in the heart of Hollywood, close to attractions like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and TCL Chinese Theatre. The Pantages is easily accessible via the Hollywood/Vine Metro Station and several bus routes, with ample parking options nearby. The theater has great accessibility, offering wheelchair seating, elevators, and accessible restrooms, ensuring a welcoming experience for all visitors.

The Mark Taper Forum is a 739-seat thrust stage at the Los Angeles Music Center. 40 years after its first opening, the Mark Taper Forum went under reconstruction and was completed in 2008. The $30 million project saw the venue receive a major interior reconstruction. The theater has hosted many world premier productions, and has won 5 Tony Awards in its time.
