Part of the Music Center, the Mark Taper is one of the three venues used by the Center Theatre Group, SoCal’s leading resident ensemble and producer of Tony-, Pulitzer- and Emmy-winning plays. It’s an intimate space with only 15 rows of seats arranged around a thrust stage, so you can see every sweat pearl on the actors’ faces.
