History

The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles’ premiere outdoor theatre, is nestled in the picturesque tree-enclosed setting of Griffith Park. It was paid for with a donation from Griffith J. Griffith, who also donated the land for the park. This award-winning theater is one of Los Angeles’ most historic entertainment venues and has played host to some of the biggest names in entertainment, from pop to classical, reggae to rock. The legendary Greek Theatre offers entertainment to every segment of the population.

This 5,700-seat venue offers an intimate concert setting, with state-of-the-art acoustics combined with excellent site lines. The Greek Theatre offers top quality entertainment under the stars in the heart of Los Angeles.

The Greek Theatre is owned by the City of Los Angeles, and is managed, operated and promoted by Nederlander-Greek Inc. During Nederlander’s tenure at the Greek Theatre, it has become a world-renowned, award-winning amphitheatre hosting thousands of events, making it one of the cultural icons of the city. The Greek Theatre won the prestigious Best Small Outdoor Venue award seven times in the past eight years, which was awarded by Pollstar Magazine, the industries leading trade publication.

The Greek Theatre had a limited concert season during its first two decades. During World War II, the amphitheater was even used as a barracks.
