Fuel the Next 30 Years of Storytelling.

Founded in 1995, Geffen Playhouse celebrates its 30th anniversary this year—three decades of extraordinary storytelling, artistic excellence, and community impact. It’s a milestone made possible by the steadfast generosity of supporters like you. Over the years we’ve reimagined how we engage our community and have welcomed a new generation of audiences into our theater. The energy and excitement are palpable—you can feel it every night in our lobbies and on our stages.

We’re telling bold new stories and developing important new work that reflects the world we live in. It’s a thrilling artistic chapter for the Geffen, but one that carries financial risks. Creating and nurturing new plays requires deep investment, but the reward—helping shape the American Theatre Canon—is something we can all take pride in.

Will you help us keep the lights on and the stories flowing?

For 30 years, your support has filled our stages with stories that move Los Angeles—and your gift today will help ensure the next 30 are even more daring, inclusive, and inspiring.

With gratitude,
