The Saban Theatre is a performing arts venue in Beverly Hills with a 2000-seat auditorium decorated in Art Deco style. Geometric patterns in silver, black, and coral colors accent the interior, which includes a columned rotunda lobby and a large proscenium arch.

The theatre is located along Wilshire Boulevard and is easily accessible to visitors. The space is equipped with technical systems including multiple stage rigging lines to support various production needs.
The building earned landmark status as number 12 on the Beverly Hills Register of Historic Properties in 2013. This recognition celebrates its architectural significance alongside its continuing role as a performing arts venue.
