“The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) is to create, present and celebrate unique performing arts events and educational programs that reflect the rich cultural diversity of our community. Located in Beverly Hills, California, The Wallis presents an annual subscription season of theater, music, dance, speakers, and a range of education and outreach programs that make the performing arts accessible to all community members, and cultivates the next generation of artists and audiences. The Wallis was incorporated as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization in October 1994 to oversee the transformation of the historic Beverly Hills Post Office into a cultural center. Construction was completed in 2012 and The Wallis began public performances in 2013.”

“The Wallis' first full season of public performances at the Goldsmith and Lovelace theaters welcomed 44,000 ticket buyers and consisted of plays and musicals from renowned local, national and international theaters; classical orchestral and chamber music including solo performances, jazz and a cabaret series; an international roster of award-winning and eclectic dance ensembles; and a discussion series on culture, literature and politics. Highlights of the season included music from Wynton Marsalis, pianist Igor Levit, and Patti LuPone; a co-production of the musical SPRING AWAKENING with Deaf West Theatre (performed simultaneously in English and American Sign Language); as well as DanceBrazil and Les Ballets Jazz de Montral. The Wallis venues are fully accessible with elevators to all seating levels, accessible restrooms and parking, and hearing loop technology for individuals who use hearing aids or cochlear implant devices.”
