Opening Nights: Scene and Be Seen

It’s a scene that’s eclectic and electric. Buzzworthy festivities and noteworthy luminaries make Opening Night at the Geffen a special event with quintessential LA cachet. VIPs (Board of Directors, community leaders, artists and cultural supporters) co-mingle in a convivial atmosphere of celebration, including pre-show cocktail reception and post-show cast party. Opening night tickets cannot be purchased. Tickets are available as an exclusive benefit of being a donor or corporate sponsor. And, in addition to being invited to the best parties in town, our Producers and Directors are underwriting our artistic and educational programming with their tax deductible contributions.
