Three of us went to the Geffen on Sunday July 12th to see Bad Jews. We sat in the mezzanine. We could see fine and the theater is very nice. The problem was the acoustics. We could not hear half or more of the actors. They didn't seem to be using mikes as nothing came out of the upstairs speaker...

Beautiful structure and not so difficult to find. unfortunately they don't have their own parking structure or lot but it is located right next door to a Ralph's grocery store which has an attached parking lot and parking structure. I think it was 2 hours for free w/ validation and then some ~$10 ev...

A stalwart of the theater scene on the west side of LA. Renowned productions with famous names pepper the season. Excellent productions at both theaters throughout the year. Parking is paid. You might be able to find street parking but it's right next to UCLA so count yourself lucky if you do fi...

The venue itself is well-appointed, and staff and ushers are friendly and enthusiastic (but not overly so). The play, "Skintight", was funny, well-acted. But too many of my buttons got pushed (my issue), so I left at intermission.

Nice, clean location! It's a hit or miss with the different shows they're putting. Most of the time they are pretty amazing, but every so often you will get something really weird. It's cool to see some celebrity actors. Food & drinks are overpriced as you would expect at a venue like this.

Parked at Target parking lot next to the theater for free. This is a beautiful little theater. Their small outdoor area is cute and has outdoor heaters for cold nights. The inside has very comfy seats and the sound transfers well in the theater. I am a little hard of hearing, but I didn't have a pro...

Tip...rent the earphones even if you do not have hearing problems. The acoustics can be a problem in the larger ...

Every time I go watch a play here I walk out pleasantly surprised at the quality of work I see. From the scenery to the acting, they really spend time preparing a great performance. They have student discounts, special events and many other chances for discounts or free shows. You can be assured tha...

This theater is beautiful, and they are always cycling thru great contemporary shows. There is a sense of change in the direction of the theater as it seemingly shifts gears from catering mostly to an older donor audience to try to bring in more shows that will attract the next generation of active ...

If you are up for a evening out, try a performance here. We saw Key Largo with Andy Garcia, this evening. It was good. The set was amazing. Every seat in the plahouse offers an awesome view. We sat in the balcony, center. Good seats!

WORLD-CLASS THEATER.

WORLD-CLASS THEATER.

LA is famous for movies, London, for theater.

And while London lives up to its reputation for world-class theater, LA has some world-class theater of its own. The top two are the Center Theater group at the Music Center and Kirk Douglas, and the Geffen Playhouse, in Westwo...

Attended a performance at the Historic "Geffen Playhouse". The show was :" Lights Out: Nat "King " Cole. The show was an inside view of Nat's last show. Excellent presentation! However, the Geffen Playhouse is historic. I sat on the mezzanine. Great view and sound system was good as well. Seats are ...

This was my first visit. Parking is a bit tricky but reasonable for LA. With your theater ticket it is 5$ to park in Trader Joe's parking which seems a bit unfair. I think It should be free for people who are paying to see a play. The playhouse itself is classic, small and nicely decorated. The desi...

This is one of my go-to boozy brunch spots. Pour-your-own mimosas allows you to customize the right boozy ratio...and they've got options besides just OJ. The Dia Beni is my favorite item on the menu - the carnitas are delicious with the perfectly cooked egg and grilled english muffin.

I went there for a school field trip to see a play Iceberg and it wad great. They offered great satisfaction to any needs and their stage is amazing. The seats are perfect for long plays that take 2 or more hours. And the lobby is so magnificent.

It was a telling, wonderful, timely play. Kudos to our star. What an inspiration. The suburb star was beyond anything I expected. I was in tears. By the we saw "I was my own wife" and I was hooked on this artist.
