The Saban Theatre isn’t just a venue — it’s a cornerstone of Los Angeles’ entertainment legacy. Since its grand opening in 1930, the theatre has witnessed the evolution of Hollywood and the performing arts. In its early years, it served as a glamorous movie palace, premiering some of the biggest films of the Golden Age. Over time, it adapted to host live stage shows, concerts, and cultural gatherings, ensuring its place in the city’s ever-changing artistic landscape. In 2009, after decades of operation under different names, the venue was restored and renamed the Saban Theatre, following a generous donation from philanthropist Haim Saban.
The renovation preserved its original Art Deco design while upgrading the acoustics, lighting, and seating to meet modern performance standards. Today, the theatre seamlessly blends historic charm with state-of-the-art technology. The Saban Theatre’s stage has welcomed world-famous musicians, comedians, authors, and thought leaders. Audiences can expect a diverse lineup year-round — from rock concerts and jazz performances to stand-up comedy, Broadway-style productions, and film retrospectives. The venue also hosts community and faith-based events, making it a gathering space for Angelenos of all backgrounds.
