The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts is a dynamic cultural hub and community resource where local, national and international artists share their artistry with ever-expanding audiences. The campus, located in the heart of Beverly Hills, CA, is committed to robust and distinctive presentations and education programs curated with both creativity and social impact in mind.

Distinguished by its eclectic programming that mirrors the diverse landscape of Los Angeles and its location in the entertainment capital of the world, The Wallis has produced and presented more than 275 dance, theater, opera, classical music, film and family programs since its doors opened in October 2013. Hailed as “au courant” (LaLa Magazine), The Wallis was lauded by Culture Vulture, which proclaims, “If you love expecting the unexpected in the performing arts, you have to love The Wallis.” Its programming has been nominated for 48 Ovation Awards and seven L.A. Drama Critic's Circle Awards. The campus itself, a breathtaking 70,000-square-foot facility, celebrating the classic and the modern, has garnered six architectural awards.

Designed by acclaimed architect Zoltan E. Pali (SPF:architects), the restored building features the original 1933 Beverly Hills Post Office (on the National Register of Historic Places), which serves as the theater's dramatic yet welcoming lobby, and includes the contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater; the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater; an inviting open-air plaza for family, community and other performances; and GRoW @ The Wallis: A Space for Arts Education, where learning opportunities for all ages and backgrounds abound. Together, these elements embrace the city's history and its future, creating a performing arts destination for L.A.-area visitors and residents alike.

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts is led by Chairman of the Board Michael Nemeroff and Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer Rachel Fine.

Presented by CENTER STAGE @ THE WALLIS & ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE ARTS

On Thursday, April 8, The Wallis and Advisory Board for the Arts presented a lively virtual panel discussion featuring four esteemed arts observers from across the United States: Philip Kennicott (Art and Architecture Critic at The Washington Post), Carolina Miranda (Arts and Culture Columnist at the Los Angeles Times), Alex Ross (Music Critic at The New Yorker), and Cameron Shaw (Executive Director of the California African American Museum, Arts Scholar, and former Journalist). This industry-insider conversation sheds a rare light on post-pandemic artistic resiliency and innovation from the unique perspectives of leading arts & culture journalists, critics, and scholars. Chris Denby (Founder and CEO of Advisory Board for the Arts) moderated the discussion and our very own Rachel Fine (Executive Director and CEO of The Wallis) hosted the forum.
