About
The Geffen Playhouse (or The Geffen) is a non-for-profit theater company founded by Gilbert Cates in 1995. It consists of two venues, the main 500 seat theater and the 125-seat Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater. Originally named the Westwood Playhouse, the property was purchased by UCLA in 1993. UCLA s then chancellor, Charles E. Young, appointed Gil Cates, founder and former president of the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, as its producing director. The theater was renamed in 1995 after media mogul David Geffen donated $5 million, one of the largest philanthropic donations ever made to an already constructed theater.
