Since 1983, Palos Performing Arts, and its premier venue, the 450-seat Norris Theatre, have brought high-caliber, professional theatre to the South Bay area of Los Angeles, producing and presenting a full season of professional shows each year, from Broadway musicals and plays to concerts, and special appearances by world-class entertainers. The Norris Theatre features tiered seating with outstanding visibility from any seat in the house, and the Harlyne J. Norris Pavilion provides a more intimate space for such popular entertainment as comedy nights and Cabaret Jazz. With many outstanding restaurants nearby and complimentary covered parking just steps away from both venues, the Palos Verdes Performing Arts Center ensures an unprecedented patron experience.
