Terrace Theater, Performance venue in Long Beach, United States

Terrace Theater is a performance venue in Long Beach, California, with a large stage and professional sound and lighting systems. The hall can seat a large audience and hosts a wide range of events, from concerts and operas to theatrical productions.

The theater opened in the 1970s and quickly became a central venue for arts and entertainment in Long Beach. It has continued to serve the city ever since, drawing performers and audiences from across the region.

The theater is home to the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, which moved here from the demolished Municipal Auditorium. Its name comes from the terraced Loge and Balcony levels reached by sweeping staircases. In 1978 Richard Pryor's concert was filmed here and released as Richard Pryor: Live in Concert in 1979.

The theater sits in downtown Long Beach and is easy to reach by public transit. Inside, there are areas where visitors can get a drink or a snack before or after a show.

The Terrace Theater is part of the larger Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, which means that on some evenings several events can take place at the same time in the same complex. Visitors may find a very different crowd depending on which night they attend.
