For nearly 40 years the Ahmanson Theatre has presented a wide variety of dramas, musicals, comedies and classic revivals, playing host to a veritable who's who in the entertainment world. The Ahmanson has a classic proscenium stage designed for large musicals and plays in a three level configuration: a main floor Orchestra level, a mid-level Mezzanine, and an upper Balcony section. A unique, state-of-the-art 1995 reconfiguration provides the Ahmanson with variable seating capacity from 1,600-2,000, allowing the theatre to accommodate a greater variety of plays, from the intimate to the spectacular.
