Saban Theatre, Art Deco theatre in Beverly Hills, United States
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 building opened in 1930 as the Fox Wilshire Theatre, marking an early work by architect S. Charles Lee. Lee later designed nearly 400 theatres across the country, making this venue part of his influential legacy in American theatre architecture.
The space now hosts concerts, theatrical productions, and religious ceremonies for diverse audiences. Visitors enter through a columned rotunda before reaching the auditorium with its distinctive silver, black, and coral color palette.
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.
