Kirk Douglas Theatre, Performing arts center in Downtown Culver City, United States
The Kirk Douglas Theatre is a performance venue with 317 seats housed in a restored historic building on Washington Boulevard in Culver City. The space was renovated to create an intimate setting where audiences sit close to the stage.
The building originally opened as the Culver Movie Palace in 1947 as a cinema. It later underwent major renovation and reopened in 2004 as a theater dedicated to contemporary performing arts.
The venue presents experimental theater productions and world premieres that connect local artists and audiences. Programming focuses on innovative works that challenge conventional theatrical approaches.
Free covered parking with validation is available at nearby Culver City Hall for visitors. The Metro E Line connects to Culver City Station, making it easy to reach the venue by public transit.
The theater features artistic galleries positioned above the seating area that create different sightlines for performances. This design feature blends visual art with the stage experience in an uncommon way.
