Geffen Playhouse

The Geffen Playhouse is a nonprofit theater in Los Angeles presenting contemporary plays and world premieres in an intimate setting. Both the Gil Cates Theater and the Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater offer wheelchair-accessible seating, marked on the seating chart and available to purchase online, by phone, or at the box office window, along with accessible restrooms. For accessible parking, the theater recommends the Trader Joe’s lot on Glendon, which it validates, or the UCLA Jules Stein lot across the street.

Assistive listening devices are available at every performance in both theaters with no advance request needed; patrons check one out at the concierge desk with an ID before entering. Each production also includes one open-captioned, one audio-described, and one American Sign Language interpreted performance, held on set weekend matinees with dates listed on the venue’s website. Service animals are welcome. Some productions include strobe lights, loud sounds, or haze effects, and patrons can contact the theater in advance for sensory details on a specific show. For productions with heavy smoke or fog effects, a smoke-free performance is sometimes offered on a case-by-case basis.
