Please note that we will begin a rollout of additional screening measures including bag checks and metal detection for all patrons entering the venues of The Music Center over the coming months – beginning with the Mark Taper Forum production of A Transparent Musical. We look forward to welcoming you safely to our venues and appreciate your cooperation and patience with this new entry process.

Hand sanitization stations are available throughout our venues.
