The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts

The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) is a premier cultural destination lauded by Culture Vulture as a place where “expecting the unexpected” defines the experience. Broadway legend Patti LuPone has praised the venue as “one of the best in the country,” citing its unparalleled intimacy between artists and audiences.

Since opening in 2013, The Wallis has served as a dynamic cultural hub in the heart of Beverly Hills, presenting local, national, and international performers across theater, dance, music, film, comedy, cabaret, and family programming. Reflecting Los Angeles’ diversity and creative energy, The Wallis has produced nearly 500 programs, earning 79 Ovation Award nominations, nine L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards, and six architectural honors.

Housed in a restored 1934 Beverly Hills Post Office, the 70,000-square-foot complex—made possible by Wallis Annenberg’s transformative gift—blends historic architecture with modern design. Featuring two state-of-the-art theaters, an open-air plaza, and robust arts education spaces, The Wallis celebrates both the region’s history and its artistic future.

Daphna Nazarian is Chair of The Wallis’ Board of Directors and Robert van Leer is its Executive Director and CEO.
