A Historic Los Angeles Theater
The Mark Taper Forum opened in 1967 as part of The Music Center.
Its distinctive circular exterior and intimate thrust-stage design distinguish it from larger traditional theaters.
Unlike a conventional proscenium theater, a thrust stage extends into the audience, allowing spectators to experience performances from multiple sides.
The theater has a longstanding reputation for presenting important dramatic works, contemporary plays, world premieres, and productions exploring social and cultural themes.
For visitors interested in the history of Los Angeles theater, the Mark Taper Forum is an important part of the city’s performing arts heritage.
