Founded by theater, film and television luminary Gil Cates, the Geffen Playhouse has been an integral part of Los Angeles theater since opening its doors in 1995. Noted for its intimacy and celebrated for its commitment to the development of new plays, the Geffen Playhouse continues to present a body of work that garners national recognition. Named in honor of entertainment mogul and philanthropist David Geffen, who made the initial donation to the theater, the organization is currently helmed by Artistic Director Matt Shakman, Executive Director Gil Cates Jr. and Board Chair Howard Tenenbaum. The Geffen Playhouse’s award-winning education and community engagement programs serve more than 15,000 community members each season including disadvantaged students, youth, seniors and veterans.
