on Stage

Part of the Center’s Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center, the 200-seat Renberg Theatre and the 50-seat black box Davidson/Valentini Theatre have mounted an extraordinary array of productions. 

The artistic work created and produced on our stages helps transform the perception and cultural understanding of LGBTQ+ people. Whether launching new careers or spotlighting established talent, the productions illuminate the truths of the lives of our community, celebrate our uniqueness, and contribute to making our environment a place of empowerment and joy.

All net proceeds from both theatres are used to support the wide array of free and low-cost services at the Center.

The Advocate & Gochis Galleries are the home of visual arts at the Center’s Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center.

The Galleries have developed a reputation for collaborative and progressive work that has reached far beyond the LGBTQ community by examining a broad range of themes that explore the relationship between art, identity, and culture. In addition to presenting the work of established artists, the Galleries also have a commitment to Los Angeles’s best emerging artists. Through these exhibits, we assist artists in expanding their contacts, sharing their creative spirits, and reaching new audiences.

All net proceeds from art sales in the Advocate Gallery are used to support the wide array of free and low-cost services at the Center.

The Reviews Are In!
"I was very impressed with the place. It’s like another world when you walk into that space. There was a lot of laughter. People moved with a purpose that’s to be respected. They knew they were there for something important."
Jenifer Lewis
“First of all, it is the best theater in Los Angeles. They promote it better than any other theater. It’s run really well. It’s beautiful. It’s clean. The audiences are the best in the world. The only thing is, and maybe it’s inappropriate for me to say this, but it’s absolutely CRAWLING with gay people."
Kathy Griffin
"May the queer gods bless Jon Imparato and the Los Angeles LGBT Center, for they have provided me a theater home here in Los Angeles. From the production department, to the tech crew, to the staff—everyone is mighty powerful, talented, treats everyone with respect and kindness and are just plain-awesome to get to know. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be presented and produced at the Center over the years, because no one in LA is producing Trans Theater Makers of Color with the amount of resources, love and attention to detail... and no one in LA looks this good doing it!"
