In the middle of the Music Center of Los Angeles, looking like a richly frosted cake, is the Mark Taper Forum, which opened in 1967 with John Whiting's "The Devils." With 750 seats surrounding a large thrust stage, there is literally not a bad seat in the facility. A comfortably steep rake offers all the advantages of the amphitheater design, including excellent acoustics.
The Taper, along with its sister venue, the Ahmanson Theatre, is operated year-round and has its subscription seasons programmed by Center Theatre Group, a nonprofit organization that is one of the largest and most active theater companies in the nation.
