We have been to many plays at the Geffen Playhouse throughout the years. It’s a beautiful theater with a nice outdoor patio. We like to get there early to look around.

Very intimate theatre, great acoustics, comfortable seating. The play, Ava the secret conversations, was done very well. Would see it again!

I love this venue for plays. It seats a few hundred people but is still intimate. I've seen a few plays here and the productions are always top notch with name actors, Broadway caliber production values and I always have enjoyed the plays. Good seats are affordable and parking is easy and cheap in the surrounding area including a parking structure just right of the theatre. A great outside patio with a fountain and large inside lobby are available for drinks before the show. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend The Geffen Playhouse! Beautiful smaller theatre with great plays, high caliber actors and a nice outdoor courtyard. There's an indoor garage next to it that's part of another building. Enjoy!

We saw the play The Inheritance and had an absolutely lovely time.
The theater is charming, comfortable and the staff were super friendly and helpful.
The concession area is very good, and the outdoor patio area is a lovely place to mingle with other guests.
The play was incredible, with lessons that transcend generations, orientation and heritage.
A touching storytelling of the human experience.

Playhouse with 2 different stages inside. Came here on a Sunday at 7pm to see Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and had a fantastic experience. There’s paid lot parking ($20 at the Ralph’s) or you can try finding street parking (free after 8pm). Masks were required and enforced regardless of vaccination status. The restrooms were in the back far right, and there were two water fountains. During intermission, note that the entire restroom will blackout during the 5 minute and 2 minute warning. There’s a small outdoor patio for people to enjoy their drinks.

Inside, the seats were comfier than I was expecting. The theater was intimate and the view from Row N was still very close to the stage.

This an amazing venue to watch a show or play! I just saw the riveting Power of Sail featuring Bryan Cranston and it was absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere of the theater made the play come to life and the lighting and set designs were top-notch! This venue has a bar, clean restrooms and a courtyard where you can enjoy a glass of wine or beer with a light snack. The staff here are very professional, well-mannered and friendly! You must visit this theater and enjoy everything it has to offer, I’ll be coming back soon!
