Geffen Playhouse is a premier not-for-profit theater located in the heart of Westwood Village, Los Angeles. Housed in a charming 1920s building that originally served as a Masonic lodge, the venue features two intimate stages: the mainstage Gil Cates Theater and the smaller Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater. The playhouse is renowned for its high-quality productions, often featuring Hollywood actors, and its commitment to new works and classic plays. Visitors can expect a cozy, up-close experience with the performers, as the theaters seat fewer than 500 people. The lobby and courtyard offer a welcoming space for pre-show drinks and conversation. Located near UCLA, the theater is a cultural hub for both students and the wider LA community, offering a mix of drama, comedy, and musical performances throughout the year.
